2007 – 2009 Independent Contractor – Transcriptionist, Carlsbad, CA
Transcribed time-coded interviews to be used in training videos for the United States Army and various police departments throughout California.

1987-1991 Zoological Society of San Diego – Merchandising Lead, Animal Keeper, Administrative Assistant
I was hired when the Giant Pandas were on loan from China. The response was huge. I worked in the Panda Shop, next to the exhibit, and there were days when my single register took in over $78,000. My register was the only one that balanced to the penny every day, so was given the promotion to helping others try to do the same.
