Professional Bio

Salon owner since 1985. FASTSIGNS franchise owner since 1995. Real estate investing as a buyer, seller and providing short term funding.

As a local manufacturing business working with construction, hospitals, education sectors as well as fellow local businesses, our vision has been to create a world where accessibility is a reality for all. Where beauty and function come together.

I have served on the FASTSIGNS National Advertising Council 2000-2002 representing constituents in my region, and have served on the FASTSIGNS Franchise Advisory Committee 2011-2016. I have also provided mentoring for new center owners.

I believe continuous education and sharing knowledge is key to thriving professionally and personally. Simultaneous and diverse businesses helps keep me balanced and things in perspective, or it can be attributed to my self diagnosed A.D.D.

Happiest when I'm surrounded by positive people, I try to practice the ideals of paying it forward. Having been a business owner for nearly half my life, I am finding my comfort zone in preferring to be a coach, mentor, listener and friend to my employees and colleagues, and hope I bring value to the table.

I am not only very proud of the teams I have built and the relationships cultivated during my 25+ years as an entrepreneur, but am even more proud of being a mom to the two young men my husband and I have raised.
