“Little did I know that my earliest experiences would have a profound effect on my future and the life I live today. I had no idea that a shampoo commercial would awaken an environmentally conscious beast within my soul. I had no idea my upbringing would foster such a strong streak of independence (and later translate into invaluable leadership skills). I never knew my ability to “march to the beat of my own drum” would later be seen as an inspiration and desirable trait among women in business. Above all, I could have never predicted my trust in the environment to provide me with solutions to any problem I faced and would eventually lead me down a path to starting and running a multimillion-dollar pest control product line. Mother Nature is certainly full of gifts, isn’t she?”
