How did your business get started? I answered an ad looking for a local coordinator to support Novi High School. The rest is history!

What services does your business provide? I seek loving host families to take exchange students into their homes for the school year. I then support the host families and their students with information and fun activities throughout the school year.

What do you want your business to be best known for? Making memories. Building families. Globalized community building.

What's your most popular service? My students and my amazing Novi host families!

Why did you choose the location that you did? I have three kids and an exchange student. Working from home makes sense to me.
