Her Interview

Ten minutes with Deanna

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to taking calculated leaps of faith and trusting in God to guide my path. After a successful career in insurance, I transitioned into the recruitment industry three years ago—a move that aligned with my passion for freedom, helping others, and embracing an entrepreneurial spirit. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I’ve always valued surrounding myself with a circle that challenges me to think outside the box. This mindset recently led me to the exciting launch of a tax and bookkeeping firm.

For me, my greatest achievement is being of service—being a resourceful friend and adding value to the lives I touch. Looking ahead, I am focused on building a portfolio of service-based businesses that create a lasting legacy of growth and opportunity for my son and sister.

02What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

Outside of work, I enjoy hobbies that allow me to express my creativity and relax—coloring and crafts are my favorites. They give me space to recharge and bring fresh ideas and energy into all aspects of my life.
