A typical day in my life includes… a variety of tasks. My day is never the same. I start by packing orders, then move on to meetings with suppliers or other business owners. I research and browse social media to find new trends in products to add to my inventory. I also shoot content for my website and social media pages.
I was born…in Deerfield, Ill. – a suburb of Chicago with a population of 19,000 people.
My favorite thing about Arizona…is the beautiful scenery and natural landscapes. I enjoy exploring the outdoors and experiencing all the state has to offer. I also love the warm weather and stunning sunsets.
I’m listening to…motivational YouTube videos.
My family…is everything to me.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…Sophia Bush. I admire her talent and activism. I appreciate the examples she sets for others and would love to talk to her in person.
One thing I cannot live without… is my family. They are the most important thing in my life and I cannot imagine life without them. They provide love, support and a sense of purpose. I’m grateful for their presence in my life and I know they will always be there for me.
When I was younger, I wanted to be… a fashion designer. As a little girl, I asked my parents to buy a mannequin, sewing kit and material for my birthday. After school, I spent hours designing clothes and experimenting with different fabrics and patterns. In middle school I sketched designs during class. I loved to express my creativity through these drawings.
I’m Inspired by… my Father’s hard work and dedication to success. I have always admired his unwavering commitment to achieving his goals and providing for his family. He has taught me to persevere through difficult situations. To never give up no matter how difficult the journey may be. I am grateful to have such a strong role model in my life. I strive to follow in his footsteps.
The one person who motivates me is… my Mother. She is a consistent source of inspiration for me. She encourages me to be the best version of myself and to work towards my dreams. Her support gives me the confidence I need to pursue my passions and overcome obstacles that come my way. I am incredibly lucky to have such a loving Mother. I know I can always count on her.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…to promote mental health awareness and improve access to mental healthcare. Education about depression, anxiety and other illnesses is a key factor. Creating awareness about health care resources including treatment facilities and health care events will make a positive impact. Advocating for increased medical insurance coverage for mental health services is important as well.
The perfect day would be…spending time on a boat with my boyfriend and family, listening to country music and eating yummy snacks.
My first job was…working as a part-time cashier and salesperson at Discovery Clothing Company in Chicago, Illinois.
My favorite escape…is Pilates. I connect with my body in a way that supports my physical and mental well-being.
My life…is amazing. I left my previous job because I was unhappy. I created a brand that reflects my passion for clothing and fashion. I am so lucky to live this life.
I’m currently working on…a search for new merchandise for the upcoming Fall season. I attend trade shows and travel to see vendors in other states.
Always… maintain a positive outlook and find the silver lining in challenging situations.
Never… give up. My parents and grandparents taught me to be persistent and keep moving forward.
Favorite Quote… “Everything happens for a reason”.
Biggest Dream… To open a Lucky Rose Boutique store front and eventually design clothes to sell in my store.
My Pet Peeve(s)…When people are late. My grandfather always taught me to be 5 minutes early to all occasions and that being on time is actually considered being late!
