Q: How did you get started in your business?

A: Growing up fashion was always a huge part of my life. I had dreamed of owning a boutique since I could remember so I finally brought it to life! I woke up one day and decided it was time and ever since then I have poured my whole heart into my business.

Q: What motivates you in your business?

A: Being able to help other women feel comfortable and confident in what they wear! In this day and age it can be hard to feel confident and I help women find that confidence. Here at The Aztec Cactus, we are your personal hype girl!

Q: What makes your business unique from others?

A: We want to build relationships and friendships with our customers not just with their bank accounts. Some of our closest friends have started as customers/followers.

Q: Where do you want to be in the next 3 years?

A: I would love to finally be able to move and get a storefront to be able to see and chat with all of my amazing customers!
