SELF
Q.
Tell us something about
you - your philosophy, your lifestyle, your ethics, your
hobbies etc.
A. My party plan
career began in 1983 as a sole parent; I didn't want to take my 2
year old daughter to crèche. The following 17 years taught me new
skills, confidence & friendships. I achieved 1st and
2nd top sales nationally in a 3 year period, won many
incentive awards including trips overseas and within Australia.
Following the closure in Sept 07 of the US based company we were
with, our former boss and my close friend started their own eco
friendly company Nature Direct in Feb 08. My involvement is a
positive way for me to help save our planet for my cute little 18
months old granddaughter and future generations.
