Business has always been my passion. I was involved in business management at a very young age and fell in love with every part of it. Interacting with customers, motivating employees, accounting, marketing, advertising, operational management, growth, and most importantly profit margin. I worked with employees, upper level management, vendors, customers, and technicians. I did everything! I had to fix the toilet, sprinklers, water heater, pilot etc. I volunteered or did side jobs for business projects (outside of my regular work schedule) over the years and oversaw the following:

The past five years my full-time work has slowed as I stole a few years to be a mom to my twins who are now 6; and my youngest child who is 4. I was divorced last year, which caused quite a setback in many areas of my life. But I'm a fighter and there is no challenge I have not been able to overcome. I am also great at putting a smile on my face and keeping a positive energy regardless of how hard life can get. I think that is very important. I like to refer to the quote, "Make your smile change the world, don't let the world change our smile."
This past Christmas was the first year without any family or my children. I was initially overcome with a sense of great loss and sadness. But I knew I needed to take ownership for that day and how I would feel at the end of it. I decided to spend the morning cooking. I spent the day delivering lunches and homemade Christmas candies randomly to people who had to work on Christmas day. What I expected to be a sad day, ended up being one of the most rewarding Christmas' of my life.
As a recently divorced mom, I am focusing on creating stability for my children. I would like to make St. George our home as I have several family members and friends for support. I have two sisters who are full-time moms and readily available to assist with my personal child care needs. I have never made excuses for not getting the job done and have not let motherhood interfere in that either. I believe with strong organization and management you can plan most of your time.
I have unbelievable experience for this position. I know I would be an asset and most importantly dependable. My organizational skills are insane and borderline compulsive. I believe strongly in planning and preparing. Over my lifetime I have dealt with angry or disgruntled customers. This has been something I am very proud of--I have never had an angry person that I have not been able to calm down and negotiate a resolution. I am very diplomatic, professional, and can work with all levels of social/economic people.
I hope I've created enough interest for an interview. I can be contacted at (702) 539-7571 or lizlane717@gmail.com. I would be ready to work with a week's notice.
