As someone born and raised right here in the Westshore, my heart has always been tied to this community. I spent 15 years in the public service, and while I valued that time deeply, I realized I wanted to pour my hard work and energy into something more personal. When the opportunity to take over the legacy of True Boutique was presented to me, it felt perfectly aligned to transition into a role that allows for a much deeper connection with the people around me.

I am a mom of three, a devoted family woman, and a lifelong learner who has always been moved by the world of fashion. Over the years, I’ve served as an independent distributor for various brands, an experience that reinforced what I believe most: that the best part of retail is the relationship built between people.

My goal is to continue the legacy of 'relational retail' by creating a space where women of all ages and stages feel seen, supported, and stylish. I am deeply passionate about empowering women to feel beautiful and confident, whether they are dressing for a busy day of carpools or a special night out.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick wardrobe refresh or a friendly chat, I can’t wait to welcome you into the shop. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

True Boutique is truly a family affair. You’ll likely find my mom, step-mom or mother-in-law in the store hanging out and my two daughters are so excited to be apart of this adventure! So, we are building a space where every generation feels welcome, and we can’t wait to see you soon!
