Q: When did you begin working at your company?
A: I started in 2021, diving headfirst into entrepreneurship and loving every minute of it.
Q: When did you become a Chamber Ambassador?
A: I proudly joined the Ambassador program in 2025.
Q: What motivated you to become an Ambassador?
A: I wanted to build meaningful connections, support local businesses, and help make our community thrive. Plus, I genuinely enjoy seeing others succeed — especially when it comes with a little extra flavor.
Q: What’s the most memorable connection you’ve made as a Chamber Ambassador?
A: Every connection has left its mark on me in a different way. Each person brings something unique to the table, and that’s what makes it so rewarding.
Q: What Chamber event do you look forward to the most and why?
A: The PERC Breakfast — it’s where good conversations meet good coffee. It’s always a great way to start the day and sprinkle in some inspiration.
Q: What’s one networking tip you’d share with new Chamber members?
A: Do it scared! Putting yourself out there can feel intimidating, but you’ll find that people are more welcoming than you might think.
Q: Tell us one fun fact about you that might surprise people.
A: I own a cat and two dogs, even though I’m allergic to all of them. It’s a constant battle of love versus sneezes.
Q: What was your first job?
A: My first job was at Old Country Buffet. I learned a lot about customer service, patience, and how to handle a rush.
Q: What was your dream job as a child, and how does it compare to what you’re doing now?
A: I wanted to be a nurse, helping people and making a difference. These days, I’m still working to serve others, just in a different way — one kernel at a time.
Q: What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?
A: Starting a business with my 14-year-old daughter. It’s been an unpredictable journey, but it’s brought so much growth and joy to both of us.
Q: What inspires or motivates you to keep giving back to the community?
A: Knowing that small actions can create a ripple effect of positive change. Seeing the impact of those efforts is what keeps me going every day.
