I'm a little late to celebrating this milestone, but it's been three whole years since I decided to embark on the journey of entrepreneurship as my only gig! I've had many interesting and wonderful clients since the journey began, and I couldn't be more grateful!

We are already into the second month of the new year! Wow, time is flying! I thought it would be a good time to do an introduction post. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My name is Jacquie DuVal. I am a mom to two beautiful girls, Anna, my sing-songy four-year-old and my fiery red headed 2 year-old named Eveline. I am the solopreneur behind Plated PR. I am also wife to an increadibly supportive husband, Justin!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started my business when I was on maternity leave with Anna. I knew I couldn't work a 9-5 job anymore. Being away from my daughter for more hours out of the week than I was with her wasn't an option for me. That's why I decided to try my hand at my own business. It's been three (!!) years since I dove head first into Plated PR and while it's had it's ups and downs, I couldn't be happier with my decision. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A few facts about me: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I love food (obviously), but nothing more than smoked salmon, chocolate covered almonds and strong cheeses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- I have three sisters. It was a busy family of girls growing up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- My girls are my why. Every decision I've made since I brought them into the world have ad their best interests in mind. I'm one lucky mom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
