Where are you from and how long have you lived in Kamloops?
I’m from Houston BC, I have been in Kamloops for 3 years now.
Who is your favourite person to spend time with and why?
Sounds cliché but my puppy Zaya for sure.
What is your favourite local store in Kamloops and why?
One of my favourite local stores in Kamloops is Popeyes! I’m a lover of fitness and they have amazing deals & great products.
Describe yourself in one word.
Outgoing.
If you could go anywhere in the world right at this moment where would you go and why?
I would probably go somewhere warm like Bora Bora or the Bahamas! I hate the winter & it’s starting to get really cold here now so, I could use a vacation.
What is your favourite activity in Kamloops?
Hitting the gym, doing makeup, or going for walks with my pup!

What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you?
Probably spilling my water a few weeks back on live on IG the other day! My phone got completely soaked and I had to end the live LOL.
What is the most inspiring thing that has happened to you?
Meeting all the amazing women I work with every day. They seriously push me to be a better version of me. Watching them grow every day motivates me to work harder, follow my dreams & don’t stop until I get there!
Tell us your favourite childhood memory.
My favourite childhood memory would have to be spending the holidays at my grandmas! I love getting together with my family, growing up I lived a few hours away from everyone so it was really nice to catch up during Christmas time.
Where do you volunteer or give back to in the community?
I used to be a care aide & I used to do a lot of volunteering at different care homes!
If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
I would change how negative & rude people are to each other. Everyone goes through their own struggles & I think it’s important to be kind to everyone. Even though someone looks happy on the outside they might be battling something inside.
Where would you sneak away to in Kamloops to spend some time alone?
My house, or out for a walk with my pup.

I got started in this business because I really needed the extra income. When I fell in love with the products I was selling I wanted other people to try the products because they are truly amazing!
What is the goal of your business?
My goal is to change lives & help other people find the same happiness with this business that I did.
What has been your biggest struggle either at work or in life?

What do you always find yourself saying?
The key to success is to start before you are ready.

Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voices trembling, but start. Start & don’t stop. Start where you are with what you have. Just start!
