Owner and CEO of Kinderdance Austin Resume Example
I have been an entrepreneur and business owner for over 16 years in childhood development programs. I grew my business from 240 children in 13 locations to over 600 children in 40 locations in a short amount of time and have been able to maintain this number even through market volatility.
Before this I worked in corporate and non-profit public relations and fundraising for 5 years. I love to market programs, network with other professionals and (when possible) manage events.
During the 2018/2019 Round Rock Community Choir season, I served as as the Vice President of Fundraising. I successfully raised over $30,000 for choir, planned and executed fundraising events and expanded our circle of choir supporters by over 100 new members.
