She is passionate. She practices what she speaks. True to her company's name, Nancy believes in silver linings and the possibilities found in every day.

She earned her BSBA in human resource management from Robert Morris University, after she decided to make lemonade. Nancy has found her calling and is continually helping people discover the abundance of opportunities within themselves and in the worlds around them.

Nancy believes in volunteerism and is committed to giving back to those in need. Currently, she is a youth mentor for both Big Brothers Big Sisters and Amachi.
