In the past I waited tables and bartend for The View at the Indian Kettles for 3 years till the business closed and at the Northern Lake George Resort.

- My favorite job I ever had was being employed by Madison Handbags; this was more of a hobby to me than a job or business. I truly enjoyed helping people design and create their own personal hand bags; that help express their own personality! this job was very enjoyable job to have and gave been down time in my busy life. I was very proud to be part of such a special company that sells products that were 100% made in America! I also got to model for the company and a photo shoot, when the new catalog came out I was flabbergasted that I was on the front cover; a very honorable moment for me in the company!
