NATIONALLY PUBLISHED AWARDED INTERIOR DESIGNER
Summary

Please, allow me to introduce myself. I am Cheryl Castela. I have been an accredited nationally published award winning Interior Designer for 30 plus years.

Upon my graduation at UNM, I was hand chosen to serve my apprenticeship with two of the leading Interior Designers in the Southwest in Albuquerque.

From there, I was hand chosen to work for the top ten leading builders of the Home Builders Association of America.

Eventually, my work led me from the Southwest to Florida where, once again, Castela Interiors flourished. I was chosen to design large upscale homes. However, I very much enjoyed decorating for my first time home builders, as well. My motto is this: "Together . . . we can make your Interior Designs come true."

I am new to the Northern California area. Monterey/Carmel/Marina, etc. Humbly, I am looking for employement. Due to the covid virus, we are all suffering.

I would be grateful if you/your company would consider me for employment.

During my tenure as owner/designer of Castela Interiors, I took a position as Senior Flight Attendant with AmericaWest/now known as American Airlines as a qualified inflight Flight Attendant. Why, you may ask? Because it was something I wanted since I was a child. I proved myself to be a quite qualified superior Flight Attendant and remained there for 5 years.

Also, for the past 5 years, I was the owner/editor/ghost writer/content editor for my own company, CLC Editing and I was privileged to be the lead and solo editor for many famous award winning authors.

To say, "I work well with people," is an understatement. I excell in working with and FOR people. Hopefully, your clients and your personnel.

I am enthusiastic, motivated, eager to learn new skills, and ambitious. I have skills in working in both team-based and independent capacities. Again, I would be grateful to be considered in a position with your company in whatever capacity you might choose me for.

My best regards,

Cheryl Castela

EDITOR/CONTENT EDITOR/Ghostwriter | 03/2015 to 01/2020Company Name - City, State

During my tenure at my company I developed, CLC EDITING, I grew my company from one client to more than twenty authors. All authors were nationally published and very successful. I attended many national book shows on their behalf to promote their work and talent as great authors. One such author was the late and great Clifford Irving of McGraw Hill. Other talented authors included Owen Parr, Mike Faricy, Michael Pettit, Bill Craig, JD Harris, and more. Each author writes not just one book, but instead, writes a series of each story. Thus, I have edited over 300 books in just a short time. Each of these many authors have given me accolades in their letters of referral that I am very proud of. I am recently honored to know that Dr. Thomas Kelso, author of Hyperion's Fracture has been nominated for the Silver Falchion Award at the Killer Nashville show 2020. Each book was a labor of love as I take with me to each job I am involved in.
