She formed GRQ Enterprises, an advertising and consulting business providing one-stop marketing expertise for clients. Since moving to central Florida, she has worked for several timeshare resorts in the Orlando area, as a salesperson, a sales manager, and a trainer. Seeing firsthand the good, the bad, and the ugly in the industry, she first became a contributing columnist to The Timeshare Beat, the industry's most widely read publication, where she blended her advertising expertise with her timeshare experience. In 2003, she formed Timeshare Insights, where her focus has been on educating potential and current timeshare owners, believing that an educated consumer can bring about necessary changes to the industry. Ms. Schreier has been featured on WOR-AM in New York City, the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, the Baltimore Sun, Hiatus Magazine, and both WLS-TV and WGN-TV in Chicago.
