Rita Roberts Magalde's Career In Photos
- 1. Hi! I’m Rita Roberts M.! Nice to meet you! I would like to take you on a trip through my career to demonstrate the value I can bring to your organization. Thank you in advance for your time and patience!
- 2. I moved to Utah in 1996 from Santander, Spain after having lived there for seven months. From
- 3. Just before that, I graduated from Appalachian State University in NC with a BA in History and Spanish.
- 4. Spain was in a recession and I knew that if I worked smart, I could do so much better in the US.
- 5. Within two years of moving to Utah, I started my own mortgage company.
- 6. I learned so much from starting my first company, but the success of my second company, Amigo Travel, was overwhelming. When I sold my 50% interest in the company 10 years later, our revenue was over $10 million dollars annually and we had 30 employees.
- 7. In October 2008 I started Sheer Ambrosia, my baklava bakery from home.
- 8. In 2010, I was asked to make the baklava for the SLC Greek Festival. I made 13,440 pieces of baklava that year just for the festival!
- 9. In 2013 I had enough business to move Sheer Ambrosia into a commercial space. I gutted an old hair salon and built a commercial kitchen and store front.
- 10. It took a lot of hard work and effort to create the space I wanted.
- 11. Grand Opening!
- 12. The kitchen was perfect! All of the sweat equity paid off!
- 13. The bakery was a success and oh so beautiful!
- 14. I sampled my baklava all over the Salt Lake Valley and grew my wholesale business. Pretty soon I was in two grocery store chains, several other restaurants and fast food chains.
- 15. The retail side of the business also boomed.
- 16. I was featured on the local news several times.
- 17. I also guerrilla marketed my way onto the TODAY SHOW.
- 18. I ran Sheer Ambrosia from my commercial space for 3 more years and while I was working long hours in the bakery I decided to fulfill my dream of writing a book. I wrote a memoir about my journey from marriage to divorce and how I came out the other end a happier, healthier person.
- 19. After getting tons of positive feedback about the book from lots of divorced women, I decided to get my certification to become a Divorce Coach.
- 20. Empowering women especially through the difficult process of divorce and reinventing themselves afterward, as I did myself, is a project that my heart has been in since my own divorce 15 years ago. Coaching Office/Space Ebook I wrote.
- 21. So WHY am I looking for a job now you might be wondering? Well, my children are older, my son is a sophomore in college and my daughter (in a couple of years) is well on her way to her own university dreams.
- 22. Entrepreneurship has served our family well during my children’s formative years but now it’s time for me to spread my wings and launch my career in a bigger pond. The real question now is…whose pond will it be?
- 23. Hopefully I have demonstrated in this presentation that I am a creative trailblazer, a hard worker, and an even stronger communicator. I build enduring, effective relationships with folks in the community, and I specialize in finding innovative solutions to the toughest problems. I speak English and Spanish and I can bring a real lasting and positive impact to your organization.
