Seeking a Marketing/Sales Executive position in the Atlanta Area
Profile Information
- About Me:
- 16 years as a paralegal in the Metro Atlanta area and would like to transition into the marketing/sales career field. Utilizing my skills learned as a paralegal as well as the skills I have acquired through all of my professional organizations, social organizations and non-profit organizations. I am also a Grant Writer and Corporate Sponsorships for Georgia SPCA
I am always looking for new ways to network with other people, especially in the North Fulton, Gwinnett and Forsyth County areas.
If I can help anyone, please let me know, I am always willing to help someone out. My friends call me their "go to" person. I am usually good at pointing someone in the right direction or I know someone who knows someone.
I created an interactive Networking Group on Ning for Phi Mu Fraternity; I am on LinkedIn (Add me), Plaxo, Myspace, Facebook, etc.
