Before COVID-19 impacted our business, we were being utilised by more than 300 childcare centres and schools in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
What business achievements are you most proud of to date?
Having the opportunity to positively impact thousands of children and educators by encouraging conversations about important heath and sustainability themes.
Have you participated in any Advance Queensland programs, or received any support from Advance Queensland to date?
About three years ago I was fortunate to have the opportunity to meet with an Advance Queensland mentoring representative for an hour to discuss ideas to improve my business.
What’s your advice for other female entrepreneurs and businesses starting out on their entrepreneurship journey?
Be prepared to put in very long hours and get used to rejection as it’s inevitable for most startups.
