DAVERY GALLEGOS

38, COSMETIC NURSE, SMALL BUSINESS OWNER

As the owner of local business Art Attack, Davery Gallegos is an art lover as well as a creative spirit. “When the opportunity presented itself (to buy Art Attack), I just went for it because I was looking for something different,” she says. A self-diagnosed former workaholic, Davery says the transition to this stage in her career is a nice change of pace, one that will be more conducive to maintaining a relationship. “I was a hospice nurse for seven years, and one of my patients told me, ‘You haven’t found a man because you work too much!’” she says. For about eight hours a week, Davery still works part-time as a cosmetic nurse injector—she not only loves the people she works with, but that she’s bringing joy to her patients by enhancing their beauty. Davery is a mom of two boys, ages 23 and 15, and she says that funnily enough, it was her older son Dominic who keyed her into Moscow Mules. “It’s kind of our drink now,” she says. “I even have my own set of copper mugs.”
