Experience: Wilkinson's early days include starting her own band that performed throughout the southeast when she was only 15 years old. Wilkinson was the lead singer and also negotiated contracts and bookings.

During college, Wilkinson worked at a local radio station where she started as  a part-time DJ and advanced quickly by learning all aspects of the business. By the age of 21, Wilkinson was promoted to the Assistant News Director. Wilkinson also worked on the advertising side which was where she excelled with her creativity, drive and attention to detail.

The station's owner formed World Advertising Agency, and Wilkinson continued to write and execute business and advertising plans for clients and learned so much before starting her own company, Formal Elegance Bridal & Formal (brick & mortar and e-commerce) Superstores which grew to be the one of the largest and most successful formal wear stores in the southeast. 

After 25 years of operating and managing her retail stores while also running her consulting firm, Wilkinson sold and liquidated the stores and now concentrates full-time on her consulting firm and enjoys working with many different personalities while helping to craft their message and get it out to the general public.
