Tell us about yourself

My late mentor Sheila Stewart introduced me to the business of communication, and I fell in love fast. The storytelling, pitching, creativity, connecting with outlets, researching ideas -- it was safe to say I was hooked. 13 years later, it is still what motivates me each day the joy I get from hearing our client's story and bringing it to life through media or some form of communication or marketing tactic.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

It is hard to sum up my biggest accomplishment as a business owner, we recently received a PRSA award and CBJ Top 25 Women in Business, but I am just proud that my team is growing along with my business.

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

One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner, especially if you do not build a community, is sometimes the hustle and feeling like it's you against the world. Until you build your team and or have a solid right hand / build your community as a business owner, it can be an arduous journey.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

My top tips for anyone looking to start, run and grow a business in today's market are to:

  1. Remain teachable.
  2. Be flexible.
  3. Know your numbers.

If you stick by those three, you will be able to grow, scale, and reach levels beyond what you've ever imagined.
