This is a start-up company that manufactures classy and attractive size adaptors for jewelry that is too large. It is primarily used to adjust ring sizes. It is my job to get the product manufactured, distributed and sold through various outlets across the country.

I grew the company from a small one that provided services to 2 surgeons in one local medical practice to a national company with branch offices in several states and hundreds of surgeon customers. I was the CEO, CFO and COO all rolled into one, and was 100% responsible for all of the company's operations and strategic planning. Our revenues increased every year and we never took on any debt.

I founded the Patient Advocacy Coalition to help people who had been denied coverage for treatment by their health insurance company. I developed an expertise in the appeals process so that I could help patients to navigate the appeals process successfully and obtain coverage for medically necessary care. I also helped to found the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, which still assists consumers in their daily battles with health insurance companies.

I developed the concept of an interactive sing-a-long program for toddlers. It was my responsibility to find recreational centers that wanted to carry the program and advertise it in their course catalogues. We performed at birthday parties and recreational centers and helped parents and their toddlers to bond in a stimulating and entertaining learning environment.

I graduated cum laude.

I graduated cum laude with honors in Economics, and was awarded a prize for best thesis in economics.
