“As a young mother, I raised my children, worked full-time, and attended college in the evening to complete my Bachelor’s degree. In my 20’s, I co-owned a successful direct-sales business. Changes in my life, including being single mother, led me to begin work as a sales rep for gifts, stationery, and toys. After less than two years I was promoted to regional sales manager and continued to advance as an employee.

In 2008, I decided it was time to work for myself again and I started my company, Adrenal. We help manufacturers ship, sell, and merchandise their products on Amazon. Steady, planned growth has helped create a company that I am proud to say employs many terrific people. Amazon presents special challenges, the most important being the ability to pivot quickly to master the ever-present changes of the online marketplace. My team has mastered this creative art.”
