Over the course of your career, she has become a successful and notable businesswoman, hailing from Florida, and having a diverse work experience up until this point.
After growing up in Clearwater FL, Sara Blakely would later attend Florida State University to receive a communications degree as well as eventually taking a job at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
