My goal was to make sure each guest felt right at home, as if they WERE home. It was important that the solution to each and every guest request or challenge was perceived as truly  easy  to make happen.  I encouraged my team to bring "the  Wow ! factor" to life; to (ideally) hear every guest reply with a "Wow!" when they heard that their request had been completed!  It truly was an entertaining, outside-of-the-box-thinking, creative solution seeking job!       01/1988   to   06/2003     Founder/Public Relations/Lead Instructor    Company Name   －   City  ,   State    Raised in an entrepreneurial family, I opened my own dance and tumbling school at 18. I researched prime location options, formulated a vision and successful business plan that I implemented on my own.  Thirty students quickly skyrocketed to hundreds (both youth and adults).  My ability to interact with my clients in a courteous and positive manner secured their loyalty and patronage. This business venture put me thru college and made me a substantial income.  At 28, when ready to retire from teaching, I marketed and "sold" my clientele to another local dance school for a truly substantial profit.        Education     1992     Bachelor of Arts  :   Athletic Training/Sports Medicine    San Diego State University   －   City  ,   State  ,   USA     Athletic Training/Sports Medicine  San Diego State - San Diego, CA, San Diego I completed a 5-year internship working with the university's athletes and graduated with outstanding grades in the field of Sports Medicine and Athletic Training.          1990       General Education    Grossmont College   －   City  ,   State  ,   USA           1989       Fire Science/Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)    Miramar Community College   －   City  ,   State  ,   USA    Living in a rural community, residents were dependent on our volunteer fire department for all medical and fire emergencies until other paid departments could arrive. After watching my grandmother pass away because no one in our family was capable of providing CPR, I realized I needed to step up and joined our local Volunteer Fire Department. I completed EMT training at Miramar College, and then a 12-week National Fire Academy, where I was one of only 4 women to pass.  It was truly the most physically challenging endeavor I've ever completed, but certainly one I am incredibly proud of!  I served as a volunteer Firefighter/EMT on the San Diego Rural Fire Department for 4 years.
