What do you love most about your work?

 

I’ve got two wild assistants who keep me on my toes! I thrive on the chaos and adrenaline that comes with being an entrepreneur. Every day brings something new—an unpredictable, exciting chapter in this wild journey. You never really know what tomorrow holds, and that’s exactly what I love about it.

 

What is the best advice you’ve ever received?

 

The best advice I’ve ever received is to take each day as it comes, grab the bull by the horns, and don’t forget to enjoy the ride—even while you’re working. It reminded me that success isn’t just about the grind; it’s about finding joy in the process. Whether things go smoothly or sideways, showing up with passion, humor, and grit makes all the difference. Life’s too unpredictable to not have fun with it—even in the hustle.

 

What would people be surprised to know about you?

 

I’m a baker at heart. I studied at culinary school, but my true passion, my secret niche, is baking. From homemade cookies and cream puffs to eclairs, fresh-baked breads, cakes, and cinnamon rolls, there’s something about working with dough, sugar, and creativity that lights me up.

 

Who has influenced you the most in your life or career?

 

My mother has been the greatest influence in both my life and career. I’ve watched her face challenge after challenge with unwavering strength and grace. No matter what life has thrown her way, she continues to stand tall and persevere. Her resilience, determination, and ability to keep going, even when things are tough, have shaped the way I approach everything I do. She’s the definition of strength, and I carry that with me every day.
