In the wake of my husband’s passing, I found myself at a crossroads in life, transitioning from a lengthy career in the non-profit sector at the age of 51. I faced the challenge of providing for my family as a single mother with homeschooling teenagers still under my care. Traditional corporate roles appeared demanding, with inflexible schedules that clashed with my new responsibilities.

I embarked on a journey that led to the birth of Nifty Package Co in 2015. This endeavor has been my way of transforming personal adversity into an opportunity to empower women and foster creativity in a family-friendly environment.

I also hold two master’s degrees, one in business and one in counseling. These degrees have equipped me with the discipline to run a business and an understanding of the human spirit, enriched by my Christian faith.

Now my goal - my passion - is to inspire and educate other widows, divorcees, advisors and estate planners about the emotional and financial challenges along with the decisions women face after loss and gain. I've lived through the fear and uncertainty, and I want to help other women navigate these difficult life transitions with confidence and clarity.
