I grew up a "duPont brat" similar to military brat in that we moved on an average of every 3 years including Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and Germany. I attended a British girls school in Germany and received my diploma from Brandywine High School in Wilmington, Delaware - a school I have never laid eyes on! I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Delaware and moved to Atlanta right after graduation and have never left. I began working in sales with Kelly Services and realized that I loved assisting others. So - I pursued a Master of Art degree in Psychology and Organizational Development at the University of West Georgia which I received in 1979.
I spent the next 25 years working as a career consultant - in both education and business. I worked in college placement and was awarded a federal grant of $100k to start the Cooperative Education program at Kennesaw State University. I went from college placement to outplacement and worked with BellSouth for over 7 years in their downsizing program as well as working with AT&T, Coca Cola, Scientific Atlanta and many other organizations.
I got into the promotional product/advertising specialty industry to help out a friend and fell in love with the business. I love to shop and this is a perfect fit. I spent over 7 years working in the business before I decided to start PromoURLogo with my partner, John Capone who also owns Bradley's Bar & Grill.
