At the age of 15 Belinda began working as a professional musician playing with the Adelaide Chamber Orchestra, South Australian Opera and the Australian Youth Orchestra. After retiring from music in her early 20’s moved into to sales. Starting on the shop floor she worked her way up to become the Australian National Training Manager at age 29 for Shiseido, the 3rd largest cosmetic company in the world. She then went on to hold the position of National Retail Sales Manager for another international cosmetic brand. Seeking a new challenge Belinda went back to university to study for her MBA specializing in e-commerce and reposition herself in the IT industry working as an e-business executive. Following her successful 20 year career in sales, Belinda threw caution to the wind to follow her dreams! She left Australia to study Spanish, travel and surf. Today, Belinda works in the fitness industry and lives in Panama, Central America.
