I love participating in new idea projects. There is no path to follow. In my teens, I don’t remember having career guidance at all from my parents. I do remember saying “WHY NOT” a lot with my mom. I am an Atlanta native. I enrolled in college at age 16 and graduated three years later with a degree in Journalism, with a minor in advertising and public relations. I have used those skills all of my life. I am basically an entrepreneur. I love creating and starting businesses. I also liked being involved in leadership roles with organizations as well. My passion, for most of my life, has been helping women succeed in sales and business. A few examples: (1) Started my first business when my first son was five months old. It was called Atlanta Models & Talent (AMT). It blossomed. I sold it after 15 years, and it is still in business in its’ 63rd year. Cool! (2) I created the 2nd chapter of Women in Film in 1974 (the 1st was in Hollywood, CA). It now has 650 members in Atlanta, 12,000 throughout North America, and 40 chapters. I call that “planting seeds.” (3) When Jimmy Carter was Governor, the Georgia Department of Industry & Trade commissioned me to write a marketing plan for building the film and commercial industry in Georgia (1973-74). It has become a multi-billion industry. I became the first Film Representative in Georgia. (4) I was getting recognition in the media and began getting invitations to speak and do programs for women (and men) around North America and internationally for several years. I received several invitations to be on boards of directors. I loved that phase of my life.
