I have been in fashion since I was a teen. It's a love of mine! I've been at Mercantile Portland for about 17 years and I love the family aspect and small boutique feel with its large selection of varied designers. 

My personal style is hip and classic at the same time. My go-to outfit is a dress with cute tennis shoes and a jacket. I stay up-to-date on the latest trends by seeing what comes into Mercantile, reading Vogue, and scanning Pinterest and Instagram. 

I love the personal part of working with clients, and getting to know so many types of women! Listening to their needs and helping them adjust; I encourage them to change up their style, but never to be uncomfortable with it!  I love feeling like we accomplished something together. 

What's a must-have piece in every woman's wardrobe?

A good black pant, a white shirt, and a blazer.
