At a loss for the words to explain the gratitude this morning as I reflect on these past few weeks. It has felt a little surreal and extremely joyous. Being awarded Entrepreneur of the Year earlier this month and now the honor of being chosen as a recipient of one of the Ruby Awards, has made me look at the last 5 years with profound appreciation and momentum to keep moving forward. This community is amazing. My customers are the reason I get to do what I love everyday, and the support of other leaders in the Great Lakes Bay region is extremely encouraging.
To anyone with a dream, don’t hesitate to take the jump. The risk is almost always worth the reward. Pour your heart and soul into what you love, and do it with purpose.
Congratulations to the other talented winners and a huge thank you to 1st State Bank, the Great Lakes Bay Region, my family, my friends and my two beautiful children for supporting my dream.

I feel so incredibly Honored to have received the Entrepreneur of the year award through the Midland Business Alliance. This has been quite the journey to get here and I am so grateful to everyone that supported this dream.
First, to the MBA, thank you for recognizing all of my hard work and dedication. I look forward to working with so many of you in the community in the future!
To all my clients, Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for trusting me with sharing in one of the most important days of your life. You are the reason I do what I love everyday.
To my close family and friends who supported me, loved me, put up with my busy schedule, and the late nights when I needed help.
To my kids; thank you for sharing your Mom with her work on those late nights and long weeks, so that I could build us a future.
To the community, thank you for supporting small business and encouraging me to chase the dream.

I feel such a sense of overwhelming love, support and positivity during this time, that it almost feels somewhat surreal. I am deeply honored to have been selected to receive 3 separate awards this month, (with this being the first) and I truly feel such a sense of pride, gratitude, and joy for all that led to this point.

We aren’t done yet everyone. So much more to come, and I can’t wait to get there.
