Detailed Experience


Beauty Expertise

She got her start in the beauty field selling Avon (and yes, she did sell door-to-door!) Her love of teaching others about good skin care and makeup application led her to a successful career in management with Mary Kay Cosmetics, Inc. and BeautiControl. Her passion for helping others look and feel great did not stop with those accomplishments.

Retail Fashion Expertise

Donna has been a custom clothier for two of the world's largest custom clothing manufacturers - Tom James, Inc. and Hunt and Lords - as well as the owner of her own women's fashion clothing company. While she has a deep, rich experience base working, selling and managing in the direct sales industry and has just as much experience in sales and management with leading companies in corporate America.

Mortgage Book Author

Donna co-authored a first-time home buyers' guide with her father-in-law and licensed real estate broker Chuck Cosmato. It's called Buying Your First Home? Insider Secrets You Must Know. She hopes the tips contained in this book will help many individuals realize their dreams of home ownership.

Hobbies and Interests

When she is not busy penning her next article, she enjoys crocheting, reading, gardening and music. In fact, when she was just 10, her mother put a crochet hook into her tiny hands and the rest, as is often said, is history.

This introduction to a time-honored craft blossomed into a lifelong love affair with crafting with colorful yarns. Her friends, family and colleagues were soon overwhelmed with gifts of clothing, afghans, baby layettes and blankets, so she has partnered with agencies such as the American Red Cross and Crisis Pregnancy Centers to create and donate handmade items for expectant mothers.
