My company & title is….

Restyle Junkie™ Owner, Creative Director and DIY Queen

A typical day in my life includes…

Spending time at the shop, advising customers on Cabinet Refinishing and DIY projects, speaking engagements and giving back to the community.

My favorite thing about living/working in the Deer Valley area is… 

The convenient location to major highways in the Valley as well as the overall chill vibe.

My favorite movie I could never get tired of watching and why…

Up. It’s a beautiful story about how life throws curveballs and how we handle them determines the infinite joy we can have in the most random of situations.

My family… 

Is blended. I am fortunate to have my own children and be a step-mother as well. My husband competes for status of being my number one fan with my two hilarious dogs.

The business lesson I learned the hard way is… 

Not everyone is honest, just because you are.

One thing I cannot live without… 

Shenanigans that keep me laughing and lip gloss.

When I was younger, I wanted to be… 

someone who lived where it was warm! Chicago was too cold for me.

The song I would sing at Karaoke night is…

I would never attempt Karaoke. Not my skill set!

The one person who motivates me is… 

My husband

The last thing that made me laugh out loud was…

A meme about cooking a turkey.

The perfect day would be… 

Hiking with my husband, enjoying the desert landscape.

My first job was…

Working at a clothing boutique in Winnetka, IL

My life… 

Is full and constantly evolving.

I’m currently working on… 
Everything. Growing the Restyle Junkie brand and being able to serve the DIY world beyond Phoenix.

The best gift I’ve ever received was…

Besides my children, the medal at the end of the marathons I ran. I treasure those.

The actor I would want to play me in a movie of my life is…

A cross between Amy Schumer and Reese Witherspoon.

My dream vacation would be to… 

Anywhere with gorgeous blue ocean water and an umbrella in my drink.

My words of wisdom to aspiring business owners… 

Believe in yourself and surround yourself with a positive tribe of people.
