I am currently in the process of creating multiple lines of jewelry products that I will represent to many boutiques and upscale hotels in our area as I intend to do this full-time. I have approximately two years of direct sales experience, although I stepped away from it for a bit while my daughter was younger. I live in Spokane, Washington, which has a rich cultural center with events that boast of attracting many demographics.
