Accomplishments

While being a Stay at Home Mother during the 2020 Pandemic I ventured into being an entrepreneur. I started an online Baby and Children's Boutique called Poppy + Ollie Baby Boutique. I hand selected clothing and accessories from wholesale vendors that were trendy, comfortable yet affordable. Since the rise of inflation it led to me closing my business January of 2024.
