My two children have been my world. Every sunrise and sunset revolved around them; their laughter, their struggles, their milestones. It was a decision I made willingly to dedicate my life to their education and well-being. They were my most treasured students, and every lesson I imparted, and every story I told, was to ensure they grew up with strong roots and even stronger wings.

But while my heart was devoted to them, I never let the world outside fade away. During the years they were at school, I found a calling outside those walls. The Respect Life office waved to me, a place where I could stand up for the values I held dear. My hands were busy, and my heart was full as I volunteered, advocating for the sanctity of life in all its stages. But the journey didn’t end there. Side by side with my husband, we delved into the Compass Catholic Ministry. Together, we shared our faith and financial insights, weaving together our spiritual and practical wisdom to guide and uplift others.

Yet, amidst all this, there remained a spark inside me, a reminder of a past life – my entrepreneurial spirit. It whispered tales of the days when I hustled, innovated, and embraced challenges head-on. As the days neared when my children would leave for college, those whispers grew louder. It was time to listen.
