I first joined the Arise® Platform in 2015. I was moving from New York to North Carolina and searching for a remote opportunity, which wasn’t common at that time. I am a disabled veteran, and I remember seeing that the Arise® Platform was veteran-friendly. I’ve tried to build my business around military spouses so they can earn revenue. I did my research on the platform and have been using it ever since.
If I had to describe the Arise® Platform in one word, it would be autonomous. I have control over my time, my schedule, and the opportunities that are right for me. I feel a lot of independence and control over my business and what I earn. There aren’t many work opportunities where you have this level of autonomy.
Personally, my greatest achievement is being fully present for my daughter as a single mom. Growing up, she had to go to the hospital monthly, and using the Arise® Platform allowed me to be there for her. I’m also able to schedule my work around travel and be there for my extended family and their milestones. My dogs are also very important to me, and I’m able to be present with them while working from home.
Professionally, I’m proud of my growth – I’ve dedicated myself to the Arise® Platform because it works for me. I’ve been able to expand my business to other veterans, veteran spouses, and others with disabilities. I also provide instruction and support services, and it’s rewarding being able to contribute to special projects. I thrive in fast-moving environments, so this aligns perfectly with me and allows me to excel. It’s the perfect fit for me.
The Arise® Platform not only allows me to earn revenue – it keeps me from compromising my life. I used to commute hours to work, but now my commute is just walking from my kitchen to my office! I work from the comfort of my own home and that has improved my mental health.
I would recommend the platform to others for the work-life balance. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I wish more people knew about it. It requires self-discipline, but if you’re able to work independently, the Arise® Platform is for you.
After the military, I worked in corporate finance. I was going through certifications for cybersecurity, and I love tech. Then, I learned about the financial services client. I knew the caliber of support that was on the program, and I was really excited about it. I think we have the best of the best on the program! Customers are calling in for help with potential fraud on their account – you’re solving problems; you need to be accurate – but it’s always interesting. Supporting the financial services program is the most excited I’ve been to take calls.
Many times, we’re stopping fraudulent transactions. Once I had an elderly customer whose husband unfortunately passed away, and we had detected fraudulent activity on her account. We were able to get her to her financial institution and she was so appreciative. It was a true accomplishment.
