About (request update)

I am a person who loves life. I am a life-learner, who is diligent, creative and resourceful. I work hard and have a since of humor and an easy going style that allows people to feel very comfortable working with me. I remain calm and level headed in intense situations and communicate well (both written and verbally) with executives as well as staff, office workers and other support staff.

My Interview Question

What would be your dream opportunity and why?

Current Whereabouts:

Photography, my love and motorcycles, another love

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I believe life gives us the opportunity to develop multiple skills, gifts and talents and as such, these skills, gifts and talents have the ability to produce multiple streams of income. With that said, my aspirations include income from photography (so far, so good but I can always improve) and through assisting companies on a project basis with their business intelligence needs so that they can reach their goals and protect their assets in the areas of marketing, merger and acquisitions, trademarks or litigation. In the area of photography, I can photograph your specimen so that they meet the requirements of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. Corporate photographic services also include event photography and photographs for annual and corporate reports. I also produce editorial imagery for travel, sports and nature.

Education (request update)

University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff class of 1983

Undergrad Major: Business Administration

Campus Organization:

Alpha Kappa Alpha

Claim To Fame:

After being layed off from a very successful 24 year career in trademark protection and business intelligence at Coca-Cola, I am now pursuing what I love to do as well as offering the services I performed for The Coca-Cola Company to law firms and other corporate entities as my own consulting entity.

Most Memorable Moment:

(1) Crossing over and being pinned with my mother's sorority pin by one of her dearest friends. Unfortunately my mother could not be present to pin me herself. Mrs. Howard and my mother were college classmates and have been close friends ever since. I crossed over at their (our) alma mater. (2) Graduation - Bill Clinton was my commencement keynote speaker. Who knew he would later be President of the United States. (3) I took my first ride on a motorcycle in college. I knew then that I had to get one for myself and that has led to a love of riding that has lasted

High School: Southwest High School in Atlanta, GA class of 1978
