MEET THE FOUNDER & Strategist

Warm greetings! I’m so glad you’re here.

“Meraki”, (pronounced may-rah-key)means doing something with soul, creativity, or love; to put your heart and soul into something, leaving a piece of yourself in your work.

My “Meraki” comes from my deep love for serving and taking care of others. With over two decades of experience in human and customer service, alongside my passion for hospitality, I’ve had the privilege of cultivating the skills and qualities needed to truly serve others with heart and dedication.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending quality time with my beautiful family and friends, cooking plant-based meals, teaching about health and wellness, reading, or traveling to new places. I’m excited about the possibility of partnering with you and bringing my passion for service to help create something truly special.

Let’s connect soon!

Warm regards,

Ayonna
