Tell us about yourself

My incredible business partner, Kristen Maurice & I saw a hole in a very wonderful market. Our dream was to offer a professional, fair brand and events that are on-time and detailed down to the moment individuals first get in touch with us!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is building the VIEW Dance Challenge brand from the ground up. What was only an idea is now a reality with events worldwide. We also have cultivated a team of individuals who really want to work and believe in VIEW Dance Challenge! I am very proud of that!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

For me, it is balancing my personal life and work! Curating a healthy and balanced work-life balance is essential for all business owners to avoid burnout! (Working on it!)

  1. Follow your intuition ( it is always right).
  2. Trust is to be earned.
