Our Business: Rusticks. We specialize in sophisticated, mountain chic furniture and interior design.<br />
Best Business Advice I Ever Received: I was very fortunate to work for Ann Sherrill, the founder of Rusticks. Ann was and continues to be a great mentor and friend. Ann<br />
taught me to always do the right thing. Be who you are and run your business the way you believe is best.<br />
Words of Wisdom to Other Women: I teach my daughter and other young women that they should believe in themselves. I tell them to live with integrity; to have confidence<br />
and conviction in their values and stay true to themselves. Also, it’s very important to surround yourself with people who support you and your goals. You should be that<br />
person for others, too.<br />
Why I Chose This Career: From a very young age, I have enjoyed interior design and furniture. My parents never knew how my furniture was going to be arranged when<br />
they walked into my room or what color I would paint the walls. There is something very magical about the power of the perfect space.<br />
The Secret to Good Business Is: Fantastic Customer Service. We treat everyone with the same courtesy and respect whether they are simply browsing through or purchasing<br />
furniture for a new home. Our customers are our friends. We love when they stop by the store to say hello and see what new goodies we have recently received.<br />
You’d Never Guess That: I am completely addicted to candy (except chocolate), and I love to exercise. Candy is always around at Rusticks. You do not need to be addicted<br />
to candy to be hired, but we will get you there soon enough!<br />
Why I Love Doing Business In Highlands-Cashiers: I love everything about the Highlands-Cashiers area. I know I am so lucky to live in this beautiful area and raise my<br />
family while pursuing the career I have always wanted. The majesty of this area and the wonderful people who call it home (or at least second home) is a combination<br />
that would be hard to find anywhere else.<br />
