Primarily my positions have been in Executive Secretarial roles.  When I pursued my Master's Degree in Business Management in 1991 I had hope to have a future in college teaching.  Now I am in a position to fulfill that dream, but have been unable to get through the electronic walls.  

Having completed a course at the Indianapolis Entrepreneurship Academy 30 years ago, I used my training to establish an organization for small and home based business people.  I had hoped to continue in that path until my husband got transferred to Durham, NC.  Entrepreneurship in that community did not focus on the small business person--only mega corporations.  That is when I turned to painting which was an untapped resource for me.  Since I did not need to work, I developed my own style of art and it grew into a business of its own.
