“I started my business my senior year of high school. Making jewelry was always something that my mom and I did for fun, just as a hobby,” Fisher said.
She began weaving the hobby into helping others by handmaking jewelry to pay for her mission trip to Haiti.
“I started out giving back to the mission that I worked with in Haiti, and we still support them,” Fisher said.
After the trip, she realized she could use her passion for a purpose. As she still helps Haiti, Fisher also gives back to her hometown.
