Her entrepreneurial spirit started at the age of 12 with a paper route that allowed her the freedom to do things that other wealthier kids her age were able to do- if not more. Once achieving her degree in university and working at a job for several years, Sara decided to travel the world for almost 2 years. In her travels, she decidedupon her return to Canada she would start a business- based on a name and a dream. Just like her wanderlust spirit, her businesses have been shaped with many twists, turns, dead ends, wrong ways, fantastic successes and also heartbreaking failures. Ultimately, all of these choices have allowed her to grow and learn personally, mostly the hard way, but she finds huge satisfaction and loves helping others who have decided to walk the same entrepreneurial path to develop and grow knowing the experience from some of her own choices!
