I'm Betty Nelson McLoyd. I grew up in many places like Queens, New York, lived in Haiti during my adolescent years, then graduated high school in Florida.

After I graduated from high school, I needed a job. I went door to door in Florida looking for work by asking whether the company was hiring. One company asked me for my resume and I didn't know what that was.

So I learned how to write a resume, so well, in fact, I got hired for work and helped others to do the same. I kept this up as a hobby. After I graduated with my associate's degree from Miami Dade College, I was accepted at St. John's University where I returned to NY and continued resume writing.
