years in direct marketing line management. As a consultant, she

including the “Just My Size” hosiery product and catalog,
which was so successful that it was rolled out nationally at retail.
Other start-ups included the “Sheer Variety" hosiery
catalog and “Nurse White” mini-catalog.
Then, at World Book, Inc., she served as Director of Marketing
for the Direct Response Division, focusing on the development of
new products for the direct response and direct sold divisions.

cosmetics division, and was responsible for all aspects of the business
