I’ve always been a motivated person with big dreams. At 9 years old, I made a list of life goals and worked hard to achieve them, taking on jobs like mowing lawns, pet sitting, and serving. Each role taught me valuable lessons. I worked through college, graduated debt-free, and married my best friend at 21, accomplishing all the goals I set as a child.

In my 20s, after having my first daughter, I prayed for something to make my life interesting. That’s when I created Ring Bandits at my grandma’s sewing machine. Starting with just $600, my business has now sold over $1.5 million in products. It’s been like a 4th child—demanding but incredibly rewarding. Through persistence and lessons from mentors, I’ve learned that true success lies in enjoying the journey.
