How long have you been a Boston Business Women member?
1 day
Where are you based? How did you end up there?
East Boston — recommendation from co-workers.
Tell us more about your company! What do you do and what pushed you to start?
E-commerce store for vendors in the New England area to supply handmade goods.
I was inspired by local artists and wanted to feature their work on my own website.
What is your definition of success? How do you know when you’ve reached it?
Success is not a destination but a journey — and I’m reaching new levels of success daily.
Tell us about your most transformational moment as an entrepreneur.
Getting on the phone and deciding to start the journey of becoming a sole proprietor.
What was one of your biggest challenges in business?
Putting my words into ideas and making those come to life. Thankfully, others do that for a living!
How do you handle the harder days — the struggles, the moments when you feel like giving up?
I take a deep breath and tell myself it’s going to be okay — then get back on the horse.
I can always start again tomorrow.
How has being a Boston Business Women Inner Circle member positively influenced your life and business?
I feel this inner circle will uplift me and my business by showcasing it to a new audience.
Tell us about your most proud moment in your career.
Signing with my first vendor and getting product and drop-shipping situated.
That moment showed me things would start to fall into place.
Who is the woman behind your business? What does she like? How does she spend her free time? What does she value?
The woman behind my business is me!
I like flowers, shopping, and writing.
I spend my free time with my boyfriend, reading, and going on walks.
I value my community, God, and friends/family.
What makes you stand out from others in your field? What do you do differently?
I have a strong appreciation for LGBTQIA and make it a point to donate to causes like BLM.
Not all businesses take that extra step to stand out and support meaningful causes.
Where can we keep up with you? What social media platforms do you use the most?
Instagram and Facebook.
