How do your colleagues describe you?
When I needed something done right, Kat was the one to do it!
Why do you do what you do?
I know from experience that owning a business can be lonely and terrifying at times. I love being able to provide hope and joy to small business owners and encouragement to entrepreneurs for I believe the entrepreneurial spirit is essential to growing a thriving community!
