Charles Morgan hired me to work at his latest venture, First Orion. I am excited to work with him because he is not only incredibly smart, but he is a visionary and successful entrepreneur. Little did I know that learning from Charles’ entrepreneurship stories would motivate me to pursue my own business! I turned my love for cooking and motherhood into my creative outlet: Bella’s Kitchen, a meal prep service for kids and families.
It’s OK not to know everything, but it’s equally important to be resourceful. With evolving technology, I have taught myself how to manage social media, create websites, SEO, graphic design, product management, etc. And I am still learning.
You don't need to move to Silicon Valley to work in technology. First Orion is growing fast and offers great opportunities and incentives. I work with brilliant people, and the advancements we are making in this industry are remarkable.
Starting Bella’s Kitchen. To watch the idea turn into a reality is incredible. It wasn’t easy and was quite a challenge to start a business during a global pandemic. I am glad I did and am proud of what we have done so far!
I have always been fascinated by technology. As a millennial, we grew up with it. I love talking to our developers, data scientists and engineers at First Orion because they are truly changing our world as we know it.

Learning to get work done and juggle everything with an active toddler, a social teenager, a playful puppy and a hard-working husband, all under one roof. But also learning to find pockets of time for myself so I don't completely lose it.
The people. I am lucky to have met many amazing people here, including my husband. We have a wonderful family here including our church family at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. I love the sense of community in Little Rock.
