The first 25 years of my professional life were dedicated to my four children and husband as a homemaker. Organization, communication, and patience were just three of many skills and attributes that I developed during those years. The last five years I have been working as the Executive Assistant to the CEO and President of Camelback Hotel Corp., a company that owns and manages eight hotels with 350 employees. Something that has always been core to my beliefs and something I have tried to instill in my children is to always give, anything you do, your best effort. As I begin a new phase of my professional and academic life, I am confident that no matter what experience comes next it will get 100% of my effort.
