After 20 years working in Telecom, I decided to start my next chapter and go back to my retail roots. Early on in my career I worked for several luxury department stores and even had my own children's clothing boutique in downtown Morristown. Fun fact, 35 years ago I met my husband in Lord & Taylor in Westfield and he is my biggest cheerleader. When my company downsized, I had already started a side hustle with a pop up retail business and decided to go "all in" with my concept. I put pen to paper and created my business plan, documenting my goals and dreams for my small business. I began by going to trade shows and curating a collection of clothing and accessories that were inspired by my favorite summer boutique brands at very accessible price points. I kicked it off with a party at my home and began searching for places to set up my shop. Today I sell online, at private shopping parties and events in New Jersey and the surrounding area. This past year I had the privilege of participating in the Mansion Designer Showhouse and Gardens where I was the top performing vendor!
Charitable Giving is core to my mission, and I am proud to partner with local organizations that provide healthcare, social services and education in our community. Interested in partnering with me for your next fundraising event? I would love to chat with you about planning something amazing. It has truly been an incredible adventure. I never imagined all the places I would go and the memories I would make. The support from my close circle of friends and family has been overwhelming and has made this journey so sweet. Meeting women, learning about their story and helping them find something that makes them look and feel confident has been incredibly rewarding.
A dear friend recommended the Co-Co to me and after one visit I was hooked. I love the community, the programming and the opportunity to meet and collaborate with this amazing group.
