Because Jessica and I just celebrated our birthdays, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to shake things up, share a little bit about ourselves, and give you a peek into our lives behind the business.
The similarities between us are endless, including sharing the same alma mater (though we actually didn’t know each other in college); and to this day, our husbands claim that we sound and act exactly alike. And we really do! Down to our love of early lunches and an ice cold Coca-Cola, Jessica and I have so much in common and work incredibly well together.
Our journey as colleagues and business partners began almost a decade ago, and today we share a bit about our backgrounds, how we met, and our answers to three surprise questions in order to delve a bit deeper into who we are as educators, business owners, and women.
