What was your first job? I actually worked at 3 places simultaneously upon turning 16! One of my jobs was working at the museum which stood where the Silver Beach Carousel now stands – our goal was to create awareness and generate funds to help build the carousel we all know and love today. My mom and I were the only two employees! The days I was not working at the museum, I was coaching gymnastics and beginner tumbling at what used to be called Cheer Unlimited in St. Joe as well as Vi Shafer Dance Studio in Coloma. Occasionally I would also babysit.
What motivates you to give back to your community? I grew up here, so I feel a special tie to the community. They helped me become who I am today and I want to give back as a thank you and also to help the area continue to grow and thrive.
What Superpower would you most love to have? I would love to have the Superpower of stopping time. As a new mom, this is something I wish I had! And, as a business owner, sometimes it’s hard to find the time to stop and celebrate wins!
What would you like to leave behind as your legacy once you are gone? I would like to leave a legacy as someone who accomplished everything she set out to do through hard work, kindness, and compassion. I hope to live a life of service where those who come after me can feel inspired to do the same.
