Margaret grew up in Orange County, California. She enjoyed the magic of schools providing high quality education, a safe community, and the sense of hope for the future that was shared in her neighborhood. As she was approaching adulthood, she started noticing a change for the worse. Rising crime, drug use, and concerns about America’s future was on the rise. Her once hopeful neighbors were now showing concern, were having a hard time making ends meet, and were afraid for the futures of their children approaching adulthood, and their future grandchildren. 

​

Margaret joined the Army in the mid-1980s. Already a parent with young children, this was a difficult sacrifice to make. She was assigned to the 190th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Lewis, Washington and moved her family there after she completed her training. Margaret had firsthand access to documents showing that at times our government worked against the best interests and wellbeing of the American people. As a true patriot and believer in the Constitution and American Dream, Margaret was shocked to see where the government had betrayed Americans in the past.  

​

After leaving the military Margaret decided that serving her family, community, and country were the best way to make a change. Margaret was not only a parent, but she also became an advocate for both children and women in business. Her journey has been one of love, resilience, and a deep commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. 

​

Over the years, Margaret has had the privilege of fostering children, many of whom come from backgrounds of trauma and substance exposure. What started as a desire to provide a safe place for children in need grew into something much bigger, adopting nine incredible kids and building a family rooted in love, healing, and hope. Parenting children with unique challenges has taught her patience, strength, and the power of unwavering support.

 

At the same time, Margaret built a business dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs grow and succeed. She believes in the power of women-led businesses to transform communities, create opportunities, and inspire the next generation. Through mentorship, strategy, and hands-on support, she has worked with countless women to scale their businesses and achieve their dreams. 

​

Beyond Margaret’s work and family, she has always believed in the importance of giving back. She has volunteered in children’s programs, ensuring kids have access to positive role models and opportunities to thrive. She has also been active in political causes, advocating for policies that support families, small businesses, and community growth.

 

Through it all, Margaret’s mission has remained the same: to create a lasting impact—whether in the lives of her children, the businesses she supports, or the communities she serves.
