I grew up as the oldest of three girls; therefore, my father (an entrepreneur and<br />
basketball coach of high school and college teams) raised us to be independent Kat hryn<br />
women and become whatever we desire to be. His entrepreneurial spirit that was<br />
St arks<br />
displayed in the many businesses his built as well as his competitive nature and<br />
success were present when he encouraged me to start my own business. I was a<br />
second grade teacher <strong>with</strong> a BS in elementary education and Master?s degree in<br />
literacy and culture and my first published children?s book. I had no business<br />
experience but a lot of books in my apartment to sell; my dad simply told me to start<br />
a company. My father being an avid reader provided me <strong>with</strong> countless articles,<br />
books, and quotes from renowned business leaders as well as personal advice along<br />
the way. As a coach, he only provided me <strong>with</strong> feedback on how to get better in sales,<br />
marketing, and public speaking. My celebrations became his victories while a global<br />
literacy educational company (now twelve years old) was created. He knew that I<br />
could develop a company that highlighted my strengths-teaching, children, literacy,<br />
and education. He also showed me and instilled in me the importance of becoming<br />
the best version of myself in my field. In business, you can work <strong>with</strong> a lot of different<br />
personalities. By far, my favorite individual to work alongside is my dad. He is a<br />
business leader, mentor, supporter, loyal fan, and family who has definitely made the<br />
largest impact in my own business.
