Business Description: 4 years working in retail, 18 years working in Distribution to the Retail industry -- General merchandise
17 years in Commercial Lighting
My Expertise: My most recent experience is obviously in Commercial Lighting, and this is a field which is growing and changing constantly. When I started working in this industry, the compact fluorescent bulb was a terribly expensive, energy efficient alternative to incandescent lighting, and the common T12 lamp - the fluorescent cool white and warm white - were the mainstay of both the home AND commercial market.
Now of course, there are so many affordable options - T8 lamps have all but replaced T12's -- which are now quickly being phased out. but there are even more effctive solutions. Watch for T5 lamps, LED lamps, and even more effective and lower wattage Compact Fluorescent lamps in the future
Experience: I have been lucky enough to have met many people through my travels to both Western and Eastern Europe, Mexico, and throughout the United States.
I have made friends and colleagues within my business associates and through my personal interests which include running my own non-profit Bichon Rescue, Womens Crisis Counseling, & tutoring in the California Children's "Reading by 9" program.
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and gardening - enjoying my roses and my orchids - along with my dogs, turtles, my husband and my pet pig Emily. less
