What do you like best as a member of the WBCS?
Networking, building life-long friendships and promoting women-owned businesses.

What is your proudest moment?
Professionally-The first month in our business history that we achieved monthly sales of $1 million, Our entire team had been working very hard to achieve that goal and it was a milestone for our company. Personally- I have two healthy and vibrant sons, they are the joy of my life. My husband is my best friend, business partner and source of great strength and support.

Who is your hero and why?
My grandmother is my hero. I have fond memories of sitting on her lap while she read to me endlessly, and sitting on the kitchen counter while she baked wonderful pies and desserts.She was a caring and compassionate woman. She was strong and had incredible morals and values. My time with her on this earth was filled with joy, and she helped me to become the personthat I am today.

What was the best advice you ever received?
I have always tried to live my life honestly and with integrity, and we have worked hard to instill those values throughout our company as well.I heard Kerri Anderson, the CEO and COO of Wendy's speak once, she said "Just do the right thing!" I love that, it is so simple and so true!

What is your passion beyond business?
My Faith has given my husband and ne the ability to strive and succeed, even with all the odds against us. It has kept our family and marriage strong. I love traveling and being able to see new places and meet new people.
