I have always been a saleswoman, even as a child! My earliest career endeavors began at age 8, when I would go door-to-door in the neighborhood, selling wooden spoons on which my mother had toll-painted designs. I also sold greeting cards and Girl Scout Cookies, but I think I ate more than I sold. (Of the cookies, that is…) In 6th grade, I would walk to the local grocery store at lunchtime and buy packs of bubble gum, which I would then sell, piece-by-piece, to my classmates. My jr. high operation was much more sophisticated, since I also manufactured my wares – homemade suckers! Of course, my teachers were less than thrilled about that little enterprise, so I eventually stopped, decided entertainment was a far better option – and less fattening!
I began singing professionally and had my first recording on the radio at age 15. By age 18, I had been booked to sing at the world-famous catch a Rising Star club in Las Vegas, and decided to permanently relocate from my home state of Utah. Through my performing career, I made many contacts within the entertainment industry, including the legendary publicist, Norman Winter.
I joined Norman Winter’s public relations firm as an associate and have had some incredible experiences under his mentorship. However, in 2006 and after a lengthy tenure with Mr. Winter, I was ready for a change and was so excited to find out about Global Foods! Accepting the opportunity as Territory Manager was a great honor, and I look forward with great anticipation to many years in this exciting position!
