Tell us about yourself
I am completely in love with my profession. I am very fortunate to turn my passion into business!

My biggest accomplishment is the growth of my business over the years and loyal returning customers who are regulars because of the quality of our product.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Finding good loyal employees is very hard. And lately it is instability because of the COVID and new rules that we have to follow. Uncertainty in the feature and inability to predict.

1. Make sure what you do is 100% your passion.
