gi s, and fi ne jewelry, we aim to create

fi ne jewelry and bridal registry to gi s for

What is your advice for women
Start before you feel completely ready.
Central Georgia is an incredible place to
build a business because relationships matter
here. Get involved in your community,
support women, and don't be afraid to ask
for guidance. The women who succeed are
o en the ones who build strong networks
and li each other up along the way.
What has been the most challenging
part of being a female business owner or
professional woman?
The ability to do it all! I 've learned that
leadership doesn't mean doing everything
yourself. Building a strong team and trusting
others has been one of the most important
lessons in growing both personally and
professionally.
Who is a woman who has inspired
or mentored you?
My inspiration has always come from my
fi rst corporate job at kate spade new york.
Kate and Andy Spade led the growth of that
iconic business with both class and grace.
Some of our daily practices at Smith's come
from my kate spade training. I'm forever
grateful to have been in the corporate offi ce
while Kate and Andy were still there.
