Hi everyone! Nice to e-meet you! Here are a few things you should know about me. I am a conscientious, open minded, adaptable to new experiences and ambitious Business Development Manager with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics - Banking, Finance and Accountancy. Through my studies I've also obtained many naturopathic and nutrition degrees as well. Part-time jobs have added marketing, network marketing, event management and store management skills to my experience through my career. Through my career I have also been a Hotel Manager and owned a Bar/Restaurant & Internet Cafe. My online marketing and social media interactivity experience was gained when me and my husband started a business with an online/organic webshop & healthy lifestyle consultancy. I've improved my English at Cambridge Academy of English - 2003, in Cambridge. I live a conscious lifestyle, and try to protect the ecosystem. Animal lover and capable of helping others without judgement or negative reactions, this is thanked to my knowledge in holistic therapies and the naturopathy courses I've followed. I cannot leave far my spiritual growth and the continuous development in alternative and holistic therapies, so I'm learning at Kyron School of New Consciousness, receiving a Bio Energo-therapist diploma. Thanks to all my experiences I've decided to venture into publishing and writting, while also continuing to learn many new things daily. I hope you enjoy reading my hand picked PICANTE News and check back for my weekly articles. You can find my articles and news digests in the following categories: FOOD & BEVERAGES, ANIMALS/PETS, ANIMAL WELFARE, CANNABIS, ENTERTAINMENT, HEALTH CARE/HOSPITALS, CONSUMER & COSMETICS, ART, HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE, ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES, BEVERAGES, ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE, COSMETICS AND PERSONAL CARE, AGRICULTURE, and many more.
