The term "wallflower" often refers to someone who is shy or tends to blend into the background. I chose this name to represent my belief that, like a wallflower, every individual or idea has the potential to bloom in their own time. Wallflower is my commitment to helping people and communities grow and flourish, no matter where they start.By naming my company Wallflower, I wanted to reflect the power of quiet creativity and the beauty of supporting others' growth.

Convenience and Creativity Matter. Wallflower Vending was started to bring ease to everyday tasks. After working in various careers, I noticed a common challenge—a lack of easy access to snacks or supplies when needed. Wallflower Vending was created to bridge that gap between the "need" and the "have." Whether it's a quick snack at work, a bandaid at the park, or a cold beverage on a hot day, my goal is for you to look around, see a Wallflower vending machine, and find just what you need.

Wallflower Consulting Services was born from my passion for community enrichment and education. With over a decade of experience in both fields, I realized the importance of creative problem-solving to bridge gaps in our communities. Through consulting services, I offer expertise in developing programs, classes, and solutions that inspire growth and engagement for organizations, schools, and community spaces.

Together, Wallflower Vending and Consulting Services combine convenience and creativity to make everyday life a little easier and more inspiring for the people and communities we serve.
