For 8 years I served in the U.S. Army. When I decided to get out I had a degree, but couldn't find work. So I decided to stay home with the kids. I had such a wonderful time watching them grow and instilling such great things in them. After I had my 3rd child I decided it was time for me to do something. I knew what I didn't what to do, but wasn't sure what to call this thing I loved helping others do. After reading some blogs and books I realized that I loved branding specifically brand development. I love helping business understand who they are so that they can influence the customers perspective of their business. The beautiful thing about branding it that it works for everyone. From influencer to large corporation. This is why I started Quest Business Consulting. My goal is to help organizations be the best version of themselves and attract their ideal customer.
