Business Owner

I am a Newport News native and busy mom. I believe in recycling and reusing and that is one of the reasons I opened Once Upon A Child Newport News. Since opening in 2010 we have saved Hampton Roads families over $ 10,000,000 buying and selling gently used kids’ stuff. We are very active in our community and we support several local charities that help empower women and children.
