A typical day in my life includes… getting up early to get the kids ready for school followed by my morning coffee while I check my emails and handle social media content. Depending on the day, I may need to stage a home which can take several hours or arrange to pick up our inventory from a home which has sold. There are a lot of moving parts to this business and my day is never the same!
I was born… in Frankfurt, Germany
My favorite thing about Arizona… October. It’s my favorite month of the year. The hot summer has come to an end and the month is filled with fun celebrations, whether birthdays or neighborhood pares, not to mention Halloween!
I’m listening to… everything but my favorite is chill out / lofi genre for great background music while I work or relax.
My family… delivers a lot of entertainment. Everything has become a meme or inside joke. Our dinners can get quite interesting!
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be… Howard Stern. I don’t listen to him much anymore but he certainly made my long drives into work very entertaining some years ago!
One thing I cannot live without… Indian food. I am salivating as I speak!
When I was younger, I wanted to be… normal 😉
I’m inspired by… other successful entrepreneurs. There is so much to learn from others who have been there.
The one person who motivates me is… my significant other. He has my back through thick and thin.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be… eliminate poverty and famine. Just don’t ask me how 😉
The perfect day would be… sleeping 10 hours through and waking up to the sounds of the ocean with a light breeze coming through the windows with coffee in hand and no deliverables for the day, AKA retirement 😉
My first job was… working at a movie theater in ticket sales and concession stand in Spokane, Washington. The pay was $4.90 / hour but there was endless amounts of free popcorn, soda and I got to see all the movies for free before they came out!
My favorite escape… can be any place new and exciting so long as the food and company is amazing!
My life… has taken interesting turns and I wouldn’t change a thing!
I’m currently working on… networking more with local businesses and outsourcing more tasks to free up some me for my private life.
Always… start the day with a co ee
Never… take yourself and others too seriously. Life is too short.
Favorite Quote… “What is a home without children? Quiet” 🙂
Biggest Dream… I’m looking forward to one day taking more me to spend with family and my closest friends. Everything I do is centered around that intent.
My Pet Peeve(s)… where the English language is heading. Whatever happened to pronouncing the ‘T’ in “important”?
Bio-on yourself/company: I am the founder and owner of Cozy Corners, a home staging and residential redesign company inspired by my desire to make houses feel warm and inviting. We help homeowners showcase their house to attract the most buyers by way of styling and / or furnishing and decorating their home. I’m also a master color consultant and can help homeowners and investors by specifying interior finishes and paint colors for a cohesive and clean design.
