About me

Since the age of 19 I have worked in the call center industry. It was something I started part-time in college with a company called Media Express, as a sales agent working on the phone. As I was finishing up my B.A. I was able to move up the ranks in the company, and was promoted to a coach, then a supervisor, and then an account manager. While I did receive my B.A. in Psychology, life had a different plan for me. I had knack and a passion for what I was doing - I was the youngest in my field to represent a Fortune 500 company. My career eventually sort of plateaued with Media Express and so I began to look for different challenges. I went on to work for another call center as the overall facility manager and after being with them for a while, I was recruited back by the old president of Media Express to participate in a new business venture with him. I did that for a while and upon the end of my time there I decided to become an independent contractor, rather than join another company. I started my own venture consulting for call centers and building them up, which for this first time afforded me the flexibility to travel, which I took full advantage of so that I didn't rob myself of my youth having held so many high level positions at such a young age. I eventually got married and started a family and longed for a more stable career that did not require travel, and I started working with LinkNow Media as the Director of Business Management. I also handle the company's weekly Payroll.

I chose this career path because

For me, it has always been about knowledge. I am very versatile, a quick learner and above all I like to be challenged. I avoid redundancy at all costs. 

I prepared for this career by

My goals professionally are to continue to bring the company to new levels and to grow it internationally, all while continuing to educate, advance, and challenge myself.

What/Who has inspired me the most

I am inspired by my love of learning, understanding and seeing how things work and grow, and my personal satisfaction.
