Amanda Twentyfive, Senior Consultant with The Traveling Vineyard

I have owned a freelance marketing company for over three years now, and I love it, but it's not always a steady job.
 
After attending a Traveling Vineyard wine tasting at my friend's home and watching the consultant conduct the tasting, I thought, I could do that! It was the ideal match for my skills and interests. I've always loved wine, and what better way to use my knowledge than by becoming a consultant with The Traveling Vineyard? I learned more about the opportunity, and signed up. I haven't looked back since!

Now I get paid to hold wine tastings, I'm always learning something new about wine and tasting new wines. Best of all, I make great money, and I create my own schedule! This job is the perfect complement to my freelancing, plus - who doesn't want to get paid to drink wine?

Previous to owning 25th Dimension Marketing and joining The Traveling Vineyard Amanda worked for CTG, an international IT consulting firm, for eight and a half years. There, she gained valuable marketing experience, and is now an expert in market research, competitive intelligence, event planning, and copy writing. Amanda has also been employed by Appraisal.com, Ivoclar Vivadent, and Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
