J’ville native opens business

Ramona S. Alexander Walden, a native of Jacksonville, has launched a venture in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Walden, daugther of the Rev. Vernell and N. Sue Alexander, specializes in linking professional people who do not wish to work full-time with businesses in the area for part-time employment.

Walden graduated from Jacksonville High School in 1982, and is also a graduate of the University of Houston. She attended Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management and received a Master’s of Science degree. She also attended a part-time MBA program at the University of Dallas and recieved an MBA in finance.

She bought a franchise of 10 til 2, a staffing agency that places college-educated professionals into long-term, part-time positions.

“I don’t think learning and building up your business skills is a waste of time,” the stay-at-home mom said in a release submitted to the Daily Progress. “But you want to make sure that where that path leads you is where you want to go.”
