Tell us about yourself

At first, it was because, formerly with the military, jobs were scarce, and you moved around. I needed something more On the GO. Plus, I have taken on some disabilities and needed to be able to create something that I could do on my own time.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is earning awards and trophies like Top Doc 2023, being Nominated for Beauty Awards, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar Short Film Award, pageant crowns, etc. Being Cover of and In Magazines, appearing as a guest on TV Talk Shows and local TV.

Finding good services and teams to work with that make it easier to communicate so that I can focus on the customer and product.

  3. You will fail, but don't get discouraged. This is a sign and path to success. Have a backup business and plan to educate yourself with challenges.
