Mitsi Dupre,

I met Kim through a mutual friend in the industry. I reached out to her regarding help and advice for my new and small jewelry business. The first time I called we talked for a little bit and we set up a time for an hour-long phone conversation. That conversation was so valuable and Kim gave me advice on my line and also worked with me to prepare a table as a vendor in her Secret Seller Market in May 2022. Her efforts were ongoing. Kim is always generous with her time and resources. Her help moved my business forward at a time when I felt very stuck. Kim's services were invaluable to the effect she has had on my business. I look forward to continuing to work with Kim at Elevation group in the future. Kim is a gem.
