I am from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and moved here almost four years ago. 
How many kids and how old are they?
I have two kids Daya who is 5 and Noah who is 4. I also have a handsome teenage step-son, Donovan
What brought you to do your business?
After moving here, and kids starting daycare, they would constantly get sick with a runny nose and constant colds. Everyone would just say that is normal for daycare kids. But as a nurse, I know the first line of defense against germs is handwashing. So I wanted to create a handsoap that little kids would love and want to make handwashing a routine, even when they are away from mom at daycare. So I created a brand, Happy Hygiene with A natural, plant-based hand soap that is made with lots of organic goodness as our first product.
When did the idea of creating your business start? How long have you been in business?
The idea came about almost two years ago and we recently launched. We started out last year doing pop up shops, just to get the brand out in front of local customers and launched Online this month in March.
What do you enjoy most about being an entrepreneur?

We package and ship together, brand photoshoots, and even social media marketing. It’s great. I also love seeing an idea come to life.
What is your favorite part about what you do?
My favorite part about creating this hand hygiene brand is hearing the feedback from the little kids. It literally makes my heart smile.
