What I like best about what I do is: I love giving women con dence through clothing and friendship! I really get to know my customers and they become friends very quickly. Being a woman is di cult most days, and if I can make a di erence in someone’s life by becoming a friend or giving a little con dence boost, I consider it a success!
Advice I would give to young female entrepreneurs: Get ready to WORK! I have been in business for 14 years and I put in work every single day. The reward of being successful is the greatest feeling!
My greatest successes have been: If you would have asked me this question just a month ago, my answer would have been owning and operating three successful businesses! But today, my answer
is becoming a mommy to my sweet baby boy and building a family with my husband, Landon. It’s a love like no other!
What’s something interesting about you that not many people know? My two career dreams were to work at Disney World and own my own business! At 19, I moved to Orlando and worked at Disney and at 23, I owned my rst business.
What are your favorite things to do on the Coast? Favorite restaurant, etc. If you know me, you know I LOVE LOCAL! I am also a lover of all things coastal! On my days o , you can nd me driving along the beach, eating at a local restaurant, such as The Reef or Glory Bound, or having a drink with friends at The O ce Bar & Lounge! I absolutely love our coastal culture and I wouldn’t want to call anywhere else home.
