Customer service is: Putting myself in clients’ shoes and having a problem-solving mindset of “no worries.” 

You started your business, because: My husband bought me my first digital camera back in 2008; from that point on, it was “go time” toward where I am today.

First job: When I was 16, I worked by my favorite lake in Hungary as a waterslide ticket controller. 

Favorite food: My family’s own raised steak.

Favorite local restaurant: I don't eat out often, but when I do I prefer locally sourced, flavorful, nutritious food, especially Thai. 

Favorite local event: Sutter Creek Parade of Lights. 

Last big purchase: A Dodge Ram with an RV setup.

When not working, you can be found: With my family at home or tending to our farm animals (milking the dairy cow!).
