About Me:
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I earned a degree in Accounting from Bernard Baruch College in 1997 and has over two decades of accounting experience in the manufacturing, banking, and entertainment industries. During my employment, I was an instrumental partner in a variety of projects that focused on enhancing businesses and customer care relationships. A major contribution I brought to my previous employers was my passion for providing the best customer service experience for each company serviced by their firm. My travel between cities gave me the opportunity to visit many coffee shops and cafes. The coffee shops and cafes I enjoyed most were cozy, intimate and warm atmospheres. I realized that this created a wonderful place for networking. In 2003, I moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. The combination of massive growth in Charlotte and my love for that intimate environment has lead my to pursue her first love "people".

    Hi
    Just got the message you posted for me. As you can see I have been in business for awhile. Surprisingl, the way the economy is right now my business is doing well. We do a high volume of corporate catering which really helps. I haven't hit a road block I'm just looking for a change. We are open 7 days a week and I have 12 employees, so its more than a full time job. How is everything going with your first year?
    I hope all is well. I'm originally from Asheboro NC.
    Talk to you later...
    Tina
