What inspired you to join/start your business?
I was in between jobs. What we do for our clients is incredibly rewarding. We create business partnerships with our clients and they become long term relationships. We have clients that we have been working with for 15 years. That is a testament to the work we do, the value we add, and trust we build.

What was your most satisfying moment in your career?
Creating opportunities for others and creating success stories for my clients.
How do you define success?
Financial health and insight to running an organization.
What’s the best piece of career advice you’ve ever received?
If you build this business within another organization and it doesn't work, do you want to do it again for yourself?

Eleanor Roosevelt, Maya Anjalou, and the many smart and strong women I get to work with on a regular basis.
