Professional Background: I was in school for most of my life before becoming a stay-at-home mom and entrepreneur.

What you wanted to be when you grew up: A wife, mommy, nurse, teacher, web designer, and entrepreneur.

What you are: A wife, mommy, and entrepreneur.

Brief Summary of your Start Up: I have spent a lot of time with various projects and ideas that would bring in extra income while allowing me to stay home with my child. A few months ago, I came across a woman who had started a business but did not have time to continue with it. I loved her passion for all natural makeup products and the direction she was headed with her business. I was really amazed when I learned that it was possible to create, mix, and sell mineral makeup from your own home! I was blessed to be chosen to own and manage KT Naturals.

What are you doing about it? Less housework and spending time with family! Business time just falls into place. Who needs a clean house, anyway?!

Favorite motivational quote: “Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.”

Family? I have been married to my best friend, Hank, for 2 years this October 11th. We have one boy, Eli, who just turned 1!

Favorite book? October Sky, a very inspirational story. I love reading memoirs!

What do you do to relax? Spend time with family, watch movies, web design.

What do you want to change most about your world? I want to push for greater acceptance of organic and natural products and remedies. There are too many harsh chemicals and ingredients in things we use and consume. Natural is better for us and our world!
