I am the co-owner of a company that designs and manufactures organizational and storage products to make life neat! So far, it has been a challenging but very rewarding experience. This venture allows us to use our creativity to its fullest and to experience a variety of growing pains! My partner and I also love to help others make and market their own products through our consulting company, CoraSys (www.corasys.com), and my blog, www.cluelessentrepreneurs.com.

Operations! I like the day-to-day busyness of it all and the problem solving aspects. I always have to be on my toes, not only for the next operational situation that comes my way, but to make sure I pay attention to the other aspects of my businesses as well.

I need to find out about dog shows in the area. Bin Buddies are becoming popular with dog fanciers. Lots of shows out there coming up, but wanting to know which ones would be best for vendors.

I have a BS in international Studies (Russia/Eastern Europe) and an MS in Marine Science. To heck with the book learning, though--my real education has come through my life experiences and working with my partner to start our own businesses.

My generalist work experiences include running small law offices, coordinating field cience projects and lab research, and getting my own businesses up and running.
