Tell us about yourself
I've always been interested in marketing and interacting with people. I started my company six years ago because I wanted to use my expertise to help businesses in reaching their objectives. Every day, I am inspired by the challenge of finding innovative solutions to help businesses expand and reach their target audiences. I enjoy watching a business prosper and develop, and knowing that I played a role in it makes me feel excited to go to work every day.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Being able to help over a hundred clients so far and accomplish their goals, and make an impact on their growth.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner is managing a team. It can be difficult to find the right balance between delegating tasks and providing direction while still allowing team members to use their creativity and feel empowered. Fortunately, I have a great team that I now trust and that works better than me when it comes to specific tasks.
