Greetings,

As a multi-business owner, my personal mission is to serve others with genuine passion, compassion, and integrity. I enjoy partnering with members within our communities to build legacies together. I also enjoy seeing others succeed and expand past their current expectations, shattering their personal glass ceiling.

As I continue to work within my God-given gifts, I proudly mentor, teach, and consult others on business ownership, business expansion, and leadership development. Each year, I humbly serve four aspiring, or new, business owners free of charge.

If you are interested in becoming a mentee, you are welcome to contact me to receive additional information regarding the application process.
