As the Director of Finance at the Baton Rouge Children's Advocacy Center the past two years, I have entered a new world of business. The non-profit and grants were completely new to me and have grown and learned so much in my time here. Surprised myself in finding this work to be so rewarding and helping this organization grow to new heights has helped me to move on from the tough decision to close my business.In 2019 I closed Holiday Hallmark and began looking to start a new career. As a highly motivated professional with 25 years of entrepreneurial and management experience. A proven leader, capable of creating higher profit margin and lowering costs, while maintaining loyal relationships. Extensive experience in expanding and running a multi-million-dollar operation with multiple locations. Ability to create market plans that develop new growth opportunities and revenue sources.
