First Job: College Board Representative for The Bon Marche department store (now Macy’s.) I learned how to do runway and casual modeling (and nearly gave the Special Events Manager gray hair and a heart attack in the process,) but mostly went from department to department in the store working as a “rover” (a sales associate who doesn’t really know anything but can schmooze well enough to keep the customers happy.)

First Job: I started my first business in the third grade, creating Plaster of Paris heart pins for Valentine’s Day that said “Love” on them. I painted them red and glazed them in the oven. I sold them for 50 cents a piece. My first licensed business happened when I was 16, where I designed and printed all of the shirts for my high school sports teams, and raised money for Students and Teachers Against Racism. I used my business as a plot to get voted in as Senior Class Secretary so I could win 100% of the school’s t-shirt needs. I made enough money to buy myself a newer car, from Datsun 210 to Ford Escort Wagon, which of course was a station wagon to lug my shirts around in!
