In February 2012, as a mother to a 14 month old little girl, a Military spouse in a new area without any friends, and needing something a bit more in my relationship, I stumbled across a friend’s post about this business venture selling romance enhancement products. At first, I was skeptic with many questions and after much consideration, I found it was the business for me. Since then I have been able to learn how to communicate better in my relationship, discover and learn to become the woman I was meant to be outside of being a stay at home mom and help many others do the same through educating and empowering them during my in-home party presentations. Over the years, I have been able to work as little or as much as I want meeting with ladies one on one, doing parties, or working with team members that are spread out through the USA. I have also been able to take my business to multiple locations including Okinawa, Japan. My biggest motivation in my Pure Romance business is knowing that I have been able to make a difference in my clients’ lives.

She describes herself as Bold, Independent, Resourceful.  

My greatest professional achievement has been being able to find my purpose by serving others with my experience and knowledge. While also being a Pure Romance consultant, I help individuals and couples with their personal finances through budgeting and financial literacy. Serving individuals/couples in both of these areas are HUGE passions of mine.
 
As a Pure Romance consultant, my goal is to rebuild my business in the Virginia area after living overseas and hold 50 parties to educate more women on sexual health.  As an Accredited Financial Counselor candidate, I will pass my exam and add educate more individuals/couples on personal finance.

Personally, I do not have any other professions I would want to attempt professions as my focus is set in educating women about sexual health and financial literacy to all.
 
How does she maintain a good work life balance? Well I learned a while ago that balance is simply making sure I am “all in” on my priorities and doing them bite by bite. I am fortunate that being able to meet new people for business can be done in everyday conversations while out and about running errands with family.
 
Some of her favorite sites that are visited on the regular are Facebook, Pure Romance online office, Google for recipes, YouTube for motivational videos & Gmail
 
Around the Quantico/Stafford area, so far I am loving Potomac Point Winery, Bella Café, and Stafford Massage & Healing Arts. I know there are plenty more places I would love to check out that are local to the area and can’t be found anywhere else.

Currently, my retirement goal is to be sailing in the sunshine and to travel throughout the world with my husband.
 
My advice for women thinking about starting their own business:  Find something you are passionate about and it will radiate through to your clients. If you make mistakes or have setbacks, remember they are there for lessons to learn and you can always grow from them.

We look forward to seeing you Thursday!!  #PureRomance #SelfCare #Womenshealth
