When magazine creator and local Lloydminster champion, Kimberly Steier, asked me to be her cover story for the April Issue of Locale YLL Magazine, I was speechless.

She shared that she knew she had to meet me after hearing "my name in the streets" from my image-confidence clients & long-standing community networks. She shared that she was determined to me and boldly reached out.
