I haveways worked in small businesses because I appreciate the intimacy of relationships you can create with people you live nearby. I shop at small stores and I love owning one. In the past I have studied and been interested in writing, social justice, and art. All of these things come together inside my store. I am able to donate to and support new artists and charitable endeavors and I get to highlight the importance of art in the day to day. If the pandemic has taught me one thing it’s that art gives people joy and meaning. It is an honor to serve in my community and each day I learn more about how to achieve my goals through responsibility
