The early days...
... being intrigued with how things were made, you would find Nancy lost in her world of inventing. Drawing cartoons, creating 3-D skyscrapers, ‘tinker-toying’ and
‘hot-wheel super-ramping’ were her favourite activities. This all at three years old.
... at five, instead of dolls, the entrepreneur in her had already set-up shop in the basement where she sold pet rocks to the wealthiest businesswoman in town who came to her Mother’s drapery business out the family home.
By nine years old, she had built a massive three-story fort by herself that progressed to set designs. The rest is history.
... as an action-based go-getter, everything became a positive challenge for conquering and the accomplishments started lining up, from straight A’s and scholarships to athletic championships.
Her business background at her Father’s accounting firm set her up on the road to success.
