Meet AWAI-Trained Writer:

Professional Background:

When I was in my early twenties, I learned Direct Selling from my late husband of 53 years, who was a successful career Sales Professional. I worked with him in a variety of Direct Sales arenas, from Building Construction to Mausoleum space! I enjoyed working in 3 distinct career areas after that, but each transition was the direct result of my sales writing ability. I went back to college and took a PT job selling cosmetics at a drugstore chain. I wrote a little manual "How to give Yourself a Professional Looking Manicure" and that pushed my department's sales so high that I quickly became Cosmetics Buyer for the entire chain! I loved being Director of Finishing Touch Modeling Schools - I rewrote and taught the entire curricula. That led to becoming Director of Publications for an Int'l direct-sales cosmetic company. My husbands' illness prompted my last career as a Realtor. I've been writing professionally throughout my life, even including a Humor column for an area newspaper! :^)
