Carol
Polo
Greater Los Angeles Area
I am a passionate supporter of veterans and their families. Recently, I was recognized by the U.S. Navy for "unselfish, faithful, and dedicated service to the children at the Naval Weapons Station in Seal Beach."
I have consistently been recognized for my leadership skills, dedication to excellence, and volunteerism.
From my experience as a college instructor, international tour director, and pharmaceutical sales representative, I am accustomed to exercising authority; communicating effectively with all age groups; motivating others; working with diverse cultural groups; organizing interesting and exciting activities; conducting and directing public affairs and ceremonies; and anticipating problems before they arise. I have also lectured at conventions, organized seminars, and participated in promotional activities for several different firms.
Currently, I am seeking new opportunities in Adult Education.
