General Info
I am a motivated person who, has been sought after
for my creativity and ability to work with the
public. That in addition to my experience over the
years in Mgr and Asst Mgr Positions (Not to mention
Owning a business) that I feel that I may be very
well suited for any position which I put my mind
to. I have a diverse mix of abilities: Photographer
(of just about anything you can think of),
Receptionist, Restaurant / food service (at every
level), Print Advertising Sales, Legal Ad Rep,
Phone Survey tech, Public Policy Research,
Switchboard Operator, Equipment / Recreation asst.,
Theatre Projectionist, Fuel Clerk, Combat Vehicle
Truck Driver, Child Care, Pet setting &
Entrepreneur.
Until my 1st move to San Diego in 2002, I
volunteered my time as the photographer for the
North West Ga Humane Society for approximately 13
years. During this time I worked with various types
of animals for a variety of fund raising projects:
Calendars, Christmas Pet Pics, Children's and
Family portraits. I am also well versed in Criminal
Investigative, Research & Development, and Product
Photography. I am familiar with how to maintain
Daily Activity reports, and check-in / check-out
inspections of equipment.
*While photography is my passion, I do not wish to
work in a full time capacity, as I do not enjoy the
aggressive nature of the Professional Photographer
who makes their entire living from this. I have
maintained my own successful side business since my
discharge from the Marines in 1983.
In closing, My Husband retired from the Navy after
26years of service. And we have bought a home and
are now a part of community.
Thank you for your time and consideration, I
sincerely hope that I can be of service to you and
your business.
