Q: Why do you do what you do? What motivates and inspires you?
A: I love creating meaningful connections. As the founder of MGI Corporate Gifts, I have the privilege of helping organizations celebrate their people, milestones and moments that matter. As a solo entrepreneur, every success feels personal—which made winning the Arlington Chamber Small Retail Business Award incredibly special, especially after three years as a finalist. I felt truly seen and celebrated by the business community I am so proud to be part of. My motivation comes from building a business that allows me to serve my clients; contribute to my community through the Arlington Chamber, WMS Band Boosters and PathForward Gala committee; and still be present for my family. Success is creating a life with purpose, impact and balance.
