What motivates you? I get incredibly motivated when given the opportunity
to guide, mentor and develop the talents of others. I really enjoy training our
new hires, helping them discover their passions and talents, and creating
and environment for them to further cultivate that passion and skill set.
What is the biggest professional risk you have taken? Choosing to
open a brick and mortar store versus staying online and selling through
pop-up shops was the definitely the largest professional and financial risk
I’ve ever taken.
What’s the most rewarding thing about what you do for a living? One of
my favorite things is meeting with a client for the first time whose confidence
has deflated due to weight gain, aging or other body changes, and watching
that confidence be completely restored through the guidance of one of our
stylists or myself. Positively impacting others is difficult when you don’t feel
great about yourself. Knowing that we are causing a positive ripple effect by
helping others feel great about themselves is very rewarding.
