1. How did you get into the tanning industry?
[gap height=”15″]
I had recently stepped away from a sales position in the professional beauty industry and was working as a buying consultant/marketing manager with a new company, Acosta Sales and Marketing, when I was approached by a good friend, Brandon Cardinal of Performance Brands tanning products. He offered me a weekend gig speaking and working the expo circuit during the busy season. That was almost 17 years ago!

2. What do you like most about your job?
[gap height=”15″]
I work with amazing and incredibly intelligent entrepreneurs and some of the greatest people I know. I’ve made long-lasting friendships which will impact my life forever. In addition, a large part of what I do is educating, and this also gives me a sense of fulfillment in knowing I was able to help.

3. When you were a kid, what did you want to grow up to be?
[gap height=”15″]
At first, I wanted to grow up to be a princess … what little girl didn’t! After growing a few years older and accepting the hard reality that it wasn’t in my cards, I wanted to be a psychologist or a cosmetologist as both help people and made them feel good about themselves.

4. What’s your biggest “pet peeve?”
[gap height=”15″]
As the proud mother of four- and six-year-old sons, I have absolutely no patience for unfriendly, rude people. When shopping or out and about, both of my boys feel the need to say “hello” or try to give a compliment to almost everyone and it’s so frustrating to see them all excited to make eye contact with a complete stranger, put on the biggest smile and say, “I really like your shirt” or “you’re doing a great job” only to be frowned at or completely ignored while they look at me as if they’ve done something wrong.

5. What song would you sing at Karaoke night?

7. Necessities aside, what one thing could you not go a day without?
[gap height=”15″]
My Boys! I never knew how much a person could love until I became a mother. I am so grateful and thank God every day for the opportunity to be Nick’s and Logan’s mom!
