Favorite ways to spend your free time in IA: I love to spend my free time visiting wineries, listening to live music, and shopping at small businesses around the Des Moines area.
Your biggest accomplishment and why: My biggest accomplishment to this day is graduating college and starting my business, b.e.good, independently. I built my business from scratch all the way from designing T-shirts, researching vendors, financially supporting the business and attending markets. I am so thankful for the wonderful people who have supported my dreams along the way!
The biggest obstacle you overcame: Does being in your 20’s count as an obstacle? Haha! After graduating in 2020, during COVID, my life felt as if it was flipped upside down. I didn’t have big plans to move away or start a new career because the world was shut down. I had zero idea of what my life was going to be like within the next few years. I had to go forward somehow with my dreams, so I started b.e.good mobile boutique. As I was starting my own business, I chose to live at home with my mom to focus on growing this dream of mine. Creating my own path in life has been a very big, but rewarding obstacle in my life.
Someone who inspires you and why: My mom is my biggest inspiration in life. As a single mom, she has guided me with her unconditional love throughout my 24 years of life. We are the Midwest version of “Gilmore Girls.” I would not be the woman I am today without her strength, love and fun!
Advice to someone pursuing a career path in what you do: Nothing comes easy. When you start your own business, it becomes personal. It may be really hard work, but if you love what you do, the hard work will pay off!
Favorite quote: “Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you truly are.”
Something someone would be surprised to learn about you: I have a wild, funny, humorous side to myself. I love to make people laugh and am constantly making my friends laugh! I really do not show my “funny” side within my business, but when you really get to know me, you will know that I am very funny and wild.
What makes someone fabulous: I believe someone is truly fabulous if they are genuine. There are so many people in this world that try to be like others or try to play a part. A person will be fabulous and successful if they are their genuine, authentic self! Always remember, Be Happy, Be Kind, Be Good it will make you fabulous!
