Launch Date: 16th April 2012
What inspires you?
I love feeling motivated by my sponsor and others in my team and sharing stories about why we became Stylists. I love being able to work around my three children and have some special social time at my trunk shows meeting new people and new friends. Making money whilst enjoying myself. It's a whole new lease of life.
Why do you love Stella & Dot?
I love the fashion forward trend led pieces, the design inspirations, the network of fabulous inspirational women who love helping each other. I love styling the women I meet every day and sharing the love of the jewellery with them.
What have you been able to achieve?
I have paid for a holiday for my family and ballet and tennis lessons for my children. But most importantly I have regained my sense of self-worth, confidence and fun!

About me: Mum of two, Henry (age 11) and Grace aged 8. Previously Director of Top 3 Sales Promotion Agency in UK working with major Blue Chip clients and where I met my husband!
Personal Stats: Star Stylist
Income Goals: To pay for School Fees
My Why: Two years ago we made the decision to send our sons to a private school were he could benefit from smaller class sizes and special learning support for his Dyslexia. When Grace showed symptoms last year of having Dyslexia too it became non-negotiable for us not to be able to provide her with the same opportunities. However it would be a real stretch to pay for two lots of fees from one income so I needed to look at how I could contribute to the household fund and still be able to pick up the kids and support them. I launched my Stella & Dot career in January 2012, promoted to Senior Stylist at the end of Jan, and to Star in February, and am so proud to say that I just wrote out the cheque for Graces Summer Term School Fees courtesy of Stella & Dot!
Work Week Hours: 25-30
How Stella & Dot has impacted your life: S&D has truly given me my mojo back – I am passionate about the products –selling such gorgeous jewellery is a breeze! I love that I can work my Stella & Dot career around the kids, school holidays and other social events that I want to do! The company support and network that you become a part of is incredibly supportive and the ‘pay it forward’ mentality creates this tribe of women who go the extra mile as a matter of course. It’s a business I want to be a part of, that I am proud to be a part of and one that I want to share with as many people as possible!
