Welcome to ZOPSmgmt Firm - A Home-based business

Since 2005, I have been doing business as ZOPSmgmt Firm. ZOPSMGMT Firm is a minority woman owned small business that specializes in helping other small business in:

-  Project Management 

-  Self branding

-  Marketing 

-  Develop New Business Projects

-  Create Home-based Initiatives 

-  Network With Like-Minded Businesses 

I am 62 years old. A native Texan, I've lived in Maryland for 35 years. I have been married to the same man for 31 years. Together we have six adult children, nine grandchildren, and after I recount them, I'll get back with you to let you know how many great-grandchildren we have.

I've been blessed to have held professional assignments from CAT-5 Telecom Technician, Sales Support Engineer, Operations Manager, Back Office Support Team Lead, and Sr. Project Manager in the Telecommunications  Industry. 

Nortel, Contel, US Telecom, CWA, and Cable & Wireless to name a few are the worldwide Fortune 50 Companies that employed me...until September 11, 2001 happened.

I spent a few years as a community advocate, an advocate against zip-code education, and gentrification. In the State of Maryland, I ran for local County Council in 1998 and for State Senator in 2004.

Concerned about the statistical data reported by the Center for Disease Control that exposed the number of STDs/STIs and HIV cases in teenagers and young adults between ages 12 and 25 in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, I wrote and was awarded a $3.5 Million Dollar five year Community-based Abstinence Education Grant (CBAE) that was funded and managed by the U.S. Health and Human Services from 2007 to 2010. ZOPSmgmt Firm initially implemented the CBAE Grant in two community churches in the state of Maryland; one in Prince George's County serving 300 school-aged children and the other in Baltimore City serving 300 school-aged students there.

Our ability to report, socialize, market, and present the importance of engaging students, parents, teachers, and community leaders in understanding sexual health and learning how to use that learned understanding to teach our children how not to destroy a friendship...helped brand our business name and reputation. 

Utilizing strong presentation and marketing skills, the ZOPSmgmt team of 28 talented and caring individuals had the tenacity neccesary to help move a community from mediocrity when dealing with teen pregnancy, STIs, and HIV to a movement started and led by me, the owner of ZOPSmgmt Firm.  

Having a team with specialized skills positioned us to be awarded the same grant when the Maryland Department Human Health and Mental Hygiene took over managing the federal CBAE Grants when the then President Obama transferred CBAE funding from the federal government to only those states with expressed interest in abating teen pregnancy and decreasing the horrific number of STD/STI and HIV cases. 

In 2010, ZOPSmgmt Firm stood ready to be recognized and awarded as the only organization with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to convert a CBAE Program and implement it into a Health Education Project for Public Schools when despite political disagreements and negative news reports.

On a $500,000 annual funded budget, I transformed my CBAE student mentors into middle and high school health and sex education Teacher's aides. As Teacher's aides, people that once mentored students by keeping them focused on their sexual health, all of a sudden found themselves teaching and assisting teachers to prepare lesson plans for how to "properly" teach abstinence education in Prince George’s County Public Schools - the second largest school district in the state of Maryland. 

ZOPSmgmt Firm exposed middle and high school students to an abstinence education that was not only fun, we engaged students and made it cool for a teenage male, female, homosexual, or lesbian to say "No, I'm saving my body for marriage".  ZOPSmgmt Firm was responsible for ordering, staging, and delivering student abstinence education booklets, teacher manuals, and resource materials to 107 schools, serving some 95,000 students. ZOPSmgmt Firm was the first minority woman owned business to be awarded a federal and state abstinence education grant in the state of Maryland. Click Here to download and read one such report submitted by the SIECUS.ORG  that (although negative), proved against all odds, me and my team was able to implement an abstinence until marriage education curriculum in the most sexually active school district in the mid-Atlantic region.  ZOPSmgmt Firm's Community-based Abstinence Education Grants highlights one of my greatest accomplishments and maybe my legacy.

Breast Cancer and Lymphedema in both arms left me disabled in 2014. I was no longer able to perform tasks I once could when I was a technician and Project Manager. I now have to research and closely vett any activities I get involved in. 

The Network Marketing and homebased businesses I am presenting here for your review do not require purchasing products, attending hip-hip-hooray meetings, and/or performing labor intensive tasks. 

I enjoy researching, reading, and writing. I enjoy working with people to help them market and brand their small or home-based businesses. I have used my project managent and team building skills to learn how to use social media to offer and promote amazing Business-2-Business Marketing Tools.

You will see that the services I provide through ZOPSmgmt Firm are not only easy to do, but require you to think and organize your life.

As your leader, rest assured that I will share learned information and smart social media features and usages to help you grow your team and your business. I hope you are willing to share your learnings to teach me some things.

I hope you learned enough about me for you to trust and believe that I am who I say I am about what I've done. I will do what I say I will do.
