Introductions … I was raised in Montreal, Canada, and earned an associate degree in health sciences; later I earned my Bachelor of Commerce at McGill University. I am married and have two sons: Deven (25) and Sajan (23). I worked in the corporate world, namely fi nancial services, for over 29 years but noticed I was constantly stressed and unhappy. After taking some time to reevaluate my goals, I realized my passion for the MFLEURS product and the brand. Founded in 2015 in Montreal by Anna Mormina and Angela Martignetti, MFLEURS is THE premier luxury preserved rose brand. They have designed and refi ned a breath-taking and impressive selection of fl oral arrangements with the MFLEURS Eternals™ roses. It is my love for their products that led me to partner with Anna and Angela to bring their vision and creativity into the USA. Where do you fi nd meaning and purpose? You have to know when to unplug and step away from work to devote to family life. In the fi nancial world, this was extremely diffi cult, which is why I made the decision to step away and focus on MFLEURS. It allows me to spend quality time with my family and to be truly present. My family and I love traveling and have been fortunate enough to visit many countries. Our trips are always family-centric and involve input from everyone, though typically I am the planner. My most memorable trip was to London when my son’s high school band was invited by the Queen of England to march in their New Year’s Day parade. w

Let Freedom Ring! On 9/11 I was on my way into work in NYC when I saw the fi rst twin tower on fi re. Unable to communicate with the school and daycare where my kids were was beyond terrifying. Seeing people covered in ash running dazed and confused is something that can never be erased from your mind. This event made me a stronger and a more resilient person. This day showed me that we cannot give up our freedoms to live in fear.

Finding space to bloom. During my corporate career, there were so many people going through the motions of coming to work because they were making good money, but they were not happy. I found myself in this situation in corporate America and discovered that I needed to leave in order to fi nd my happiness … and ultimately it led me to my dream job in entrepreneurship with MFLEURS. I am determined to be happy and enjoy what I do daily. It is only when we enjoy what we do that we can focus on the customer and provide them with 100 percent satisfaction.

Who is your inspiration and support? Both my parents have inspired me the most in life and my husband Ricky is my greatest cheerleader. My parents had a strong entrepreneurial spirit, as they had started their successful business from scratch. I was motivated to start my own business by watching, learning, and developing my drive from them.
