Additional Information

After nearly three decades in several completely different industries (Education, Retain, Store Management, Translator, Sound Masking Installations and Confidentiality Systems, Executive Assistance to Presidents, Support Sales Roles, Director, Project Management, Executive VP, CEO, President) I would like to note that I am very discriminative with how I spend my time.

If I work for another organization ever again, it must be a perfect match. A new work family whose vision aligns with mine well. A place were all my talents can strive and blossom. I won't settle for anything less than a true partnership. for a reasonable compensation, of course.

Passions

I love helping others. For this reason I have trained sales representatives and administrative staff.   Also for this reason, I have actively supported several non for profit organizations via donations and fund raisers: Spring of Tampa Bay, The Crisis Center of Tampa Bay (Call 2-11) and Bridging Freedom.  I plan on getting involved in Wilchairs for Kids in 2026.  


I love animals. I don't own a pet at this time due to the excessive amount of travel my jobs have required.  I hope to get involved with the Humaine Society in 2026, and at least volunteer. 


I love nature and care deeply about our environment (regardless of any political affiliation).  For this reason, I had supported the T. R. E. E. non for profit, and planted a lot of trees in Tampa Bay. 


 I find inspiration in empowering women as women tend to be a lot more collaborative than competitive, by nature.  For this reason, I had served on the board of the Central Pinellas Chamber in Largo for 4 years.  


I also love to teach. For that reason I have taught physics in High School in 1985, and later I had trained our after school program children (yoga, mobility, ki- gong, taekwondo - daily trainings at the CMA studio in 2025). In an ideal world I would teach children daily, even without pay.  I love to see employees strive, while being healthy and happy. For that reason I have developed a 9 week program for corporations. 


Lastly, I love to move and to create beautiful things (not quite art but crafty stuff for sure).  Yoga, Mobility Exercises (MOTION IS THE LOTION), Yoga Gong, Qi Gong, Tae Kwon Do, walking in nature and watching the sun rises and sun sets.   Visiting new places, like monasteries.  Hiking in the mountains. Learning new sports, like golfing and tennis.  etc etc etc
