Founded: 1981

Tell us about your career leading up to where you are now:
After graduating from Loyola University Chicago in 2013 with a double major and obtaining a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and Psychology, I worked as a licensed professional registered nurse specializing in labor and delivery. As a nurse I had the opportunity to work for medical establishments such as Howard University, Northwestern University, and Rush University hospitals.
In 2018, I started my second career by joining my family’s company, which is an art gallery and custom framing and engraving store located in Lincoln Park, Chicago. My current role is VP of Sales and Operations, where I am responsible for meeting revenue projections and managing production and logistics for all departments.
What do you like most about what you do?
I enjoy working with local artists and being involved in Chicago’s art community. I love educating clients about the connection between art and diversity. It is also great to see our client’s ecstatic reaction to their framed art pieces, which will always be a part of their home.
How did you hear about the EFBC?
I heard about EFBC through my friend and mentor [EFBC President] Andy Sanghani.
Why did you join, and what do you hope to gain from your membership?
I joined EFBC to learn more about entrepreneurship particularly within the category of small family business. I hope to learn how to build a strong and successful brand for the next generations. Most importantly I look forward to making life long friendships with like minded individuals.
