FUN FACT: My spirit animal is a sloth, and rightfully so. Not because they're lazy, which is a total misconception - they are slow moving and unbothered.

MY PERSONAL STYLE: My personal style is like the weather, it's always changing. One day I might be in a dress from the 70s, and the next day I'm in a crop top and platform sneakers. Sometimes what I wear makes sense and other times it doesn't. Style for me is a way to tell stories without opening my mouth, and that's the most beautiful part.

WHAT I DO: I create unicorn magic in small jars as the owner and creator of California Country Organics Body Care.  When I'm not working on my Boss game, I'm enjoying a red wine, time with my two amazingly charismatic children, with thoughts of, when really is the *right* time to throw glitter at a party? MY PERSONAL STYLE: Sensually dominant, always colorful and bright,  never blend in with the background.  Ultra Feminine.  I like to shine.  Is this where I get to throw glitter?

FAVORITE QUOTE: "She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future." This is an anthem for both me and my little sister...I look up to that little one so much.

WHAT YOU DO: In 2014 I started a consulting service to support UAB and Children’s Hospital recruit physicians to Birmingham. When they identify a potential faculty candidate, I reach out and find out what their quality of life priorities are and during that first and second visit, I make sure they see and touch it before they leave! We are especially focused on cultural, spiritual, or religious priorities that are often a significant part of the decision and may get overlooked by more traditional recruiting processes...The VAL Group team LOVES showing off Birmingham to people who are often VERY skeptical about their quality of life priorities being met or exceeded!!!
