WORK HISTORY
Owner & Chief Enthusiasm Officer @College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving Chicagoland
Arlington Heights, IL, US
When I opened my College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving franchise, I was a single mom with two elementary-aged kids, determined to create a business that would not only provide for my family but also make a difference in my community.In just three years, I grew from a single truck to one of the largest franchises in the country — earning over 1,500 5-star Google reviews along the way. That growth wasn’t by accident. It came from building a high-performance team, setting uncompromising service standards, and fostering a culture where employees take pride in every move, every hauling service, and every customer interaction.Our operation has been recognized nationally for customer satisfaction, operational excellence, and revenue growth. But just as importantly, it has become a platform to give back. I actively partner with local organizations, serve with the Rotary Club of Arlington Heights, and support initiatives to combat childhood food insecurity.This journey has blended the grit and resilience of entrepreneurship with the heart of community service — proving that a local business can be both a thriving enterprise and a force for good.
