How do you define success?
To me, success means pursuing what you love, taking chances on yourself, and creating joy for others. In October 2024, I reopened Apricot Lane Scottsdale, driven by my passion for people, fashion, and jewelry. My love for connecting with women inspired this journey, and my husband, Eric, whom I married in November 2024, has been my greatest source of support. I aim to create a welcoming boutique experience, curating high-quality, on-trend merchandise that reflects my customers’ unique styles.

How has your journey influenced your approach to business and client connections?
My journey with Myranda Fine Jewelry stems from a love of timeless design, meaningful connections, and staying true to my word. I’ve built a brand that celebrates stories and creates joy through one-of-a-kind pieces. Growing up with challenges taught me resilience and the value of giving back. Today, I’m driven by a mission to pay forward the good I’ve received, bringing sparkle to my clients' lives while staying grounded in authenticity and care. It brings me joy making life brighter for my customers, family, and friends.

What is a personal belief or principle that guides your business strategy?
For me, pediatric dentistry is about more than just teeth—it’s about creating trust, connection, and genuine care. Every child’s smile tells a story, and behind it is a family hoping for a positive and comforting experience. I feel incredibly lucky to work with the team at Affiliated Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, where we share a simple but powerful philosophy: treat people, not just teeth. Together, we strive to make every family feel heard and supported. This belief drives my passion and makes every smile we shape profoundly fulfilling.
