I started moving up in the IT field, in the AT&T Bell Operating Company in Denver. I had numerous assignments, and loved them all. Near the end of 20 years I managed the IT services and staff in six major buildings that we had in the downtown area. I loved it dearly and called it ‘my contribution to humanity.’ Times changed and technology progressed, corporate life became less rewarding. The employee ceased to be the company’s greatest asset. Having worked up to a very nice salary, I was offered a voluntary severance; I took it and ran. Soon after I accepted a position with what is now Verizon in Tulsa. After 10 years and holding several different managerial positions, I got caught in one of the ongoing rightsizing/downsizing efforts like so many others. Fast forward to where I am now, a happily married small business owner. None of this would be possible without the financial support and dedicated maintenance skills of my terrific husband. It takes a team, and I am blessed with staffers that love this place and treat it as their own. My corporate background has equipped me with the technical, marketing and leadership skills to succeed. I am passionate about helping women feel better, get healthy, and improve their self image. I have come to learn that what I do now is truly ‘my contribution to humanity’.
