"Don’t overinvest your time in anything you are not 100% sure about. Always be listening. We are infinite resources to those that we meet and build relationships with, and listening is key in being that resource of knowledge."

ON BUSINESS
What exciting project are you working on? I am currently planning the next Stars and Cigars Event that benefits Make A Wish, Cocktails in the Cloud and LOVEFEST in Piedmont Park, along with a Fashion Show for CURE Childhood Cancer
What are the lessons you've gained that have profoundly shifted your direction in business? Don’t overinvest your time in anything you are not 100% sure about. Always be listening. We are infinite resources to those that we meet and build relationships with, and listening is key in being that resource of knowledge.
Your mantra? Failures are success waiting to happen. It doesn’t matter how many times you fail, it’s how many times you get back up!
GETTING PERSONAL
Apple or Samsung why? I’m torn here! I have had both and see the perks and dislikes of both in the end I have an Apple (much easier to navigate).
What do you do for fun? Working out is a must and fun for me. Dinner out with friends and family, traveling, shopping and horses! Did I mention I am from Kentucky? I love to ride but just don’t get to do so very often.
What legacy do you want to leave behind? I hope to be remembered for the passion I have in working with multiple non-profit organizations, my love of fashion, and my “live in the moment mentality.”
