"I am incredibly honored to receive the 2018 Client of the Year award from our Tip of the Mitt SCORE Chapter. I was blessed to be referred to SCORE when opening Yoga Roots in 2007. My favorite aspect of the meetings is the gathering of great brains and all the creative thinking, it's an inspiring and empowering atmosphere. The support I have received over the years has been incredibly valuable for the growth of my studio and for myself as a professional. It's reassuring to know that there are experiences mentors available to guide me when making important decisions, most of which I would otherwise be making on my own. The advice from people who have been there and the friendships I have made along the way mean the world to me. To know that other successful business people are rooting for me, and believe in me too, is the greatest feeling. I have infinite gratitude for SCORE mentors giving their time and sharing their skills to help me achieve success. 

Special thanks to Paul Krecke, Sharon Schappacher and Bill Collins for their dedication to SCORE Mentors Tip of the Mitt, and Petoskey Regional Chapter of Commerce couldn't have done it without you."
