I appeared on the Girls on a Mission Podcast with online business coach and international boss, Alessandra Nicole.

Read this striking article about my start as a business owner by Illinois Business Daily.

My first major news appearance was before my debut as an entrepreneur! Back in 2017, I was a model at the Barbizon modeling agency in St. Louis. They helped me land my first National TV appearance. Watch it here.
