What is your favorite quote and why?

My favorite quote is if you don’t stand up for something you’ll fall for anything. I love that line because it is true in all literacy. If you don’t believe in something, have morals or a standard, you will fall prey to anything the world will offer you.

How long have you been an entrepreneur?

I’ve been an entrepreneur for nine years now.

Are you a baller?

Not only am I a baller, I'm also known to be a shot caller.

What were you doing prior to being a baller and shot caller?

I did a little of everything.  I was in the mortgage world for awhile doing underwriting for Wells Fargo and Bank of America. After I left the mortgage industry, I was an office manager and accountant for several companies.

So what made you take the leap into entrepreneurship and what exactly does Roxi do?

Well,  I’ve been doing accounting for several years. I went to school to be an accountant. I was getting so many requests from people asking me to manage their books and do their taxes on the side. So it hit me like wait, I should just have my own business doing this. I received some advice from a friend and made that leap.  I’ve been working for myself ever since.

What advice do you have for women thinking about doing the same?

JUST DO IT! Don’t think about it, that was my hold up. I pondered on the idea instead of hoping onto the IRS website and getting the paperwork started.  I literally did everything in one day.  My website, filing my paperwork, starting my social media and, once I start a project my blinders are on. 

                             "Put your blinders on, just like a horse in a race...Focus."

Roxi give us a fun fact about you.

I play five instruments. I play the sax, flute, piccolo, clarinet and oboe.  My first love is the flute; I’ve been playing the flute since the 3^rd grade.  I also read and compose sheet music.

Well I am blown all the way AWAY!Do you except all business or large contract only?

I do work for all clients. I have clients who are artist, small businesses right on down to multi-billion dollar companies, mainly throughout Arizona, Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland.
