INTRODUCTION

The Career Development Portfolio I am submitting exhibits hours of self-assessment and documentation. The purpose of this portfolio is to highlight my strengths, skills and competencies in order to gain college credit for a class that I have completed at Cleveland Community College under the guidance of Professor Margaret Gillikin.

I recently decided to pursue a career as a state inspector for the cosmetology industry. I wish to continue my education so that I might have personal growth and development and excel in this new field. I would like to obtain a position with a company that will utilize my managerial skills, knowledge and experience of the salon industry. My objective is to obtain my two year degree in business to assist me in my goals.

Significant Life Experiences

 Developed a love for horses and learned to ride at the age of 5 and by age 13 entered my first rodeo.

 At age 17 was abducted at a public library during daylight. Was not physically harmed, but had to overcome my fears and nightmares, and the process of court to seek justice. Went through intensive therapy and hypnosis.

 1993 promoted to Customer Service Manager at Food Lion. I had started this job at the bottom and was able to work my way up.
