TORI SERPA OWNER & BUYER

Tori graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in 1984 with a double major in marketing and communication. After graduating, she worked as a Southwest Airlines flight attendant for twenty years. She is married to Roy, her college sweetheart. They have two children, Blake, age 24, and Brittney Rose, who is their own angel in Heaven.
It has always been a dream of Tori's to own a boutique of some sort. She, however, was never certain if it would be an actual brick and mortar store, an online business, or a home based business. Her true passions are volunteering for non-profits in my community, and now she am now able to marry my dream of owning a boutique and running a non-profit organization.
