PROFILE
Most recently, I’ve worked as a licensed security guard in retail stores, as an agent arranging client pickups, and at UPS. I am also a freelance events photographer.
Before that, for over 25 years I ran the mail order business for New York Road Runners, a nonprofit organization with the mission of inspiring everyone to start and keep running. My job involved managing a team responsible for handling and shipping products as well as customer billing. It required a strong focus on attention to detail, accuracy and organization.
