I started working in a florist right out of high school and loved it.  I continued working and learning floral design from two masters who took me under their wings before opening up my own business.

I prepared for this career through my on the job training and my two mentors.

The biggest challenge I've overcome was being a single mom to my two daughters and opening my business at the same time.

My greatest strength is my reputation as a floral designer and being in business for 12 years.

My greatest accomplishment to date was building my dream shop.

My professional goal is to find a shop manager that can run the business so I would have more time to travel.

My daughters inspire me the most because I wanted to show them the importance of being independent.

I support the missions of Just Women and various others missions through the schools.

I enjoy traveling in my spare time - in fact I make a point to travel every two months.
