My name is Abbi. I'm 42. I am a Single, Leo/Leo with a Strong Empathic Soul. I've traveled over 70% of the
U.S. I've worked in Sales, Marketing, Sales Management, Internet Management, Field Promotion, Front
to Back Sales, In-Home Sales, B2B sales, Client Relations, Portfolio Management and Development. I've
hired, I've promoted, I've fired. My true passion has been and always will be helping others, developing
my global awareness, and assisting others in developing theirs. I love life, new opportunities, change is
to be expected, and I have a good grasp on a lot of anthropogenic subjects, social industries, economic
standpoints, and spiritual positions. I like people; in fact I believe All people are inherently good, but we
do make a plethora of poor choices to find this out about ourselves.
As a Leo, on my own time, I've done tons of research about many, many subjects of interest to me. I read
the Economist and Surf on You Tube Constantly. I have a business with Poshmark for 4+ years now. I am
a user of Facebook( Marketplace and social networks) Pinterest and Instagram, although I can't abide
Twitter. I was involved in TidWiT.com at its beginning, as R&D, and have been on many Local buy/sell
sites such as Wish, Local, Letgo, Craigslist. I worked as a Executive Matchmaker for a year and have been
on The top 5 online dating sites as a Promoter of an independent company.
If you ask me about anything I Will have some input on the matter. I have over 5 years in the Vacation/
Resort industry.
For years, I've longed to work in the field of research and marketing. I joined the military right of high
school which gave me the travel bug, but also gave me endless disciplines when it comes to long hours,
time management, self-motivation, and understanding where my road leads next. I also have minimalist
tendencies and am very independent. I've done 3-5 years of travel sales work which makes me very
flexible, and although my extrovert Side is strong, I've developed a program of self care that keeps my
work and personal life very balanced in a variety of fields ( mainly yoga meditation and Earth centered
activity). I am confident that I'd be a good fit for the position you have available and would love to chat
with someone about it.
Thanks for your consideration!
