Caroline Ledgin
My professional and life experience started as a teen when working in retail (restaurants and fashion) where I started learning about the corporate world and real life responsibility, managing my parents' law firm for over 6 years during/after college at Hofstra University (where I received a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Biology), exiting law school at Touro Law Center after 1 year to pursue film production after internships with both the Suffolk County District Attorney as well as Court TV, continuing with entertainment production for some years while running/managing a medium-sized business for several more years before working in fashion at both Polo Ralph Lauren and NY & Co., taking a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to the Middle East where I backpacked for 6 weeks in Israel, Egypt and Jordan (most time spent in Tel Aviv), coming home and taking care of my elderly dementia-stricken grandmother while continuing to freelance in production, later accepting an offer I couldn't refuse to handle Marketing and Sales at an upscale fitness club on Long Island (turning down lucrative opportunities with top corporate fitness clubs in Manhattan), to finally starting my own company in all my other "spare" time. I didn't just bounce around to all these positions - in fact I still work in production (have a feature documentary coming out soon) and have tied all my experience into my own company doing social media marketing and creative marketing strategies. My experience allows me to understand the nature of various businesses - though spending time at those businesses teaches me crucial specifics. With a deep need to always learn new things and keep myself well-rounded, I've received certifications in fields such as Real Estate as well as Culinary Arts (I am a natural foods chef). Production is still part of my life and with all the things I know and have learned from all my experience over the last 20 years, I am still continuously learning and growing. I live by the beach though I barely see it, am an animal lover and am both an animal rights and children rights advocate, I have always been a natural networker and have an infinite number of professional resources to prove it. I live fairly and honestly and seek justice whenever I see fit.
