As a small business business owner, I understand and juggle the many hats worn, the decisions to be made and the prioritizing that needs to be done daily to succeed in a small business. Winner of a 2017 national marketing award in the travel community and second place in the 2017 Score Small Business Growth Project, I have a proven track record of developing plans that can produce sales and growth within small businesses. I manage more than 25 employees and maintain caring but professional relationships that help to motivate and retain staff. Both businesses have robust sales requiring time and budget management, and have taught me an understanding of when to hire outside assistance, how to delegate and when to give up my weekend to get things done. My greatest priority is balancing my work and family life, while giving back to my community through volunteering. I was initially introduced to the Score program as a mentee for my business projects and had great success. I felt it was time to give back and became a mentor.
