I am thrilled to announce that as of March 2009, I accepted an innovative position to begin a challenging new career. I am working for a civilian company that develops and sells tactical equipment to the Department of Defense and am heading up their new Naval Aviation Branch. This is the greatest opportunity and I am blessed to be able to serve my country and enhance the safety and comfort of flight of our Naval Aviators and their squadrons. My vested interest in this endeavor makes this adventure exciting, both personally and professionally. Virginia Beach is where I now call home and my travels will take me to various altitudes to include each Navy squadron and the Pentagon. Establishing and owning Alaris Aviation LLC for eight years brought me joyful accomplishment. I am grateful for my clients and colleagues, as I learned from each and every one how to be a better person and to carry myself as a lady while marketing, negotiating and closing. The aviation community has created a camaraderie for me amongst some of the most passionate people, that I now call friends. Thank you to you all. I will leave you with this thought:
Passion is Powerful. Nothing was every achieved without it, and nothing can take its place. No matter what you face in life, if your passion is great enough, you will find the strength to succeed. Without passion, life has no meaning. So put your heart mind and soul into even your smallest acts…this is the essence of passion. This is the secret to life.
