Atlanta17 Martin
Office Manager, Holiday Retirement
Location: Smyrna, GA United States

About (request update)

What makes me special is that I have worked in different sectors and I have taught school. Therefore, I can educate my students and clients about employment law and give real life experiences.

Current Whereabouts:

I currently own my own human resource consulting firm, where I consult small to mid-sized businesses on employment law by training them or assisting them on HR matters.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

My professional aspiration is to become a college professor again. I have a passion to help women and children reach their maximum potential. As a result, my life aspiration is to open a shelter for battered women and help them regain confidence by empowering them and giving them the tools to move forward in life.
