lab/medical technology and then will enter the college of

business centered around real estate management and

investment. I go to school at night and online, this way I

am able to work during the day and school at night.

Beginning this fall term, I have changed my degree major to

business and psychology. Also I am taking classes at night

for preparation to take the state real estate agents test,

and plan to take educational classes to become a certified

realtor.

FEMA has recently named me as the Phoenix Arz. District

manager if and when a disaster strikes that area.

Currently working as a project manager for Mathur

Construction & Engineering Inc., but I am looking to work

in the Gainesville area year round, so I can concentrate on

school more.

I am looking to work and stay with one company for many

years, regardless of my educational progression.

With Mathur Const., I was a project manager/superintendent

building or renovating structures for Dunkin Doughnuts and

Baskin & Robbins.

I am now working with Chinourd Const., building/renovating

structures for Pizza Hut as a superintendent.

MEMBERSHIPS

1980- Charter Member of Lake Butler Chamber of Commerce, Union

County.

Also: Would like to add that while being a building

contractor, I also owned and managed a septic tank co., a

site prep and land clearing company, and I am highly

self-motivated, self-confident and self-assured in the work

I produce. I have always been a self-starter, and I love a

challenge and always hold myself accountable for everything

in which I am in control or responsible for.

I wrote the mission statement for the initial charter.

Also: In 1980, working with the clerk of court in Union

County, we developed and put into motion all the various

ramifications concerning the new Weatherization Program for

Union County for the S.R.E.C. agency that later became the

working template for all the participating counties in the

North Central Florida area.
