I come from a family of entrepreneurs. My sister owns her own business (a hair salon in Los Angeles, CA) and I have several cousins who own their own businesses. I guess you could say it's in my blood.

I am a franchise owner but my hope is to be able to bring affordable one on one education to every student who desires to reach and exceed their potential.

I spent several years in a family-owned restaurant business until I went back to school to finish my bachelor's degree. I graduated in December of 1996 from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha, WI with my B.A. in History. After that I continued on to graduate school in Milwaukee. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in May of 2000 with my Masters in Library and Information Science. Even though neither one of my degrees are in the Education field I still have a desire to help people find the knowledge they seek.

I am married to a wonderful supportive man. We'll celebrate our fifth anniversary this July. He has two daughters but I have no children of my own unless you count my cat.

I don't find it that difficult since I don't have children and my husband's daughters are both older. He works from home as well so we always manage to find time to spend together.

I feel that being in business for myself gives me more freedom to make decisions that will help people in a shorter amount of time. That is what I really love about what I do.

I believe that I would have done better to begin with a little more knowledge about Education in general. Being open to learning as you go is a good thing as well.

I love the whole concept of women helping one another to grow their businesses. I'd like to make some new friends along the way as well.
