Aimee has done it all! A lifelong resident of Jennings, LA, she entered the field of optometry right out of high school and spent 10 ½ years in the field. When her elderly grandparents began needing assistance in 2009, she made the decision to take on the role of caretaker for them, trading eye care for family care. A little over ten years ago, Aimee purchased her first embroidery machine and fell in love with the hobby from the start. She began her own small business, embroidering and monogramming for people. Her customers loved her work, and thus began her foray into the world of embroidery.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px\"\u003eIn 2014, Aimee began working as a part-time salesperson then quickly moved into a management position. In 2016, she found her passion for teaching classes. She traveled across Louisiana teaching “New owner” classes for Brother and BERNINA, Beginner Embroidery and Applique classes, BES lettering software, and PE-DESIGN software.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px\"\u003eAdditionally, Aimee has created her own embroidery app and is currently writing an embroidery eBook. The app is The Embroidery Guru. The app offers lots of great help and information at your fingertips. Find it in the App Store and on Google Play today!
