What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
To run a business while still giving back to the community.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Opening a business during the pandemic has given me plenty of twists & turns. Pivoting my business has been a non-stop challenge.

- To accept the unexpected.
- Never underestimate yourself.
- The job is never done, so keep working.
