BALTIMORE, MD, November 24, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Bonnie D. King-Rose has been recognized for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in her professional career.
Mrs. King-Rose studied business at the University of Maryland College Park, and she did a lot of on-the-job training over the 12 years it took her to graduate.
As a retired stockbroker and educator, Ms. King-Rose became involved in her profession through teaching business in high school, then in a sales role with IBM. She was a single parent who was receiving minimum child support and couldn't afford to be displaced. She loved working with money and businesses, and owned her own cookie business while working full time at IBM. Later, she decided that becoming a stockbroker would be a more interesting and challenging career. Unfortunately, although she passed the required tests, she experienced difficulty being hired because she was a woman. With determination and hard work, she was finally hired. She passed her examination and then traveled to New York for a month of additional training and the rest is history.
She retired from the industry in 2003 after she remarried in 2002. She now teaches summer classes relating to her field, volunteers at the Baltimore Visitor Center, serves as Vice President of the Paint and Powder Club, is a member of the Women's Club of Roland Park, and the Ladies of the Elks, and is a Certified Tourism Ambassador. Her charities are Boys Town, Fraternal Order of the Police, Susan B. Komen, House of Ruth, and Maryland Food Bank.
She attributes any accomplishments of hers to her Mother who said, "I believe a woman should be able to do anything she wants. You just have to go for it and don't take NO for an answer."
Her greatest accomplishment, however, are her two successful grown children. They overcame obstacles that many others would not have overcome. They and her four grandchildren light up her life. She considers herself a lucky lady.
In recognition of her hard work, she was honored as a Top Female Professional of 2015.
