Meet the Business Owner

Pilar P.

Business Owner

I am very happily married with two wonderful step children who are now enjoying their early thirties doing meaningful work. They too have wonderful spouses we love and adore. I’ve always enjoyed the natural flow of life, the good, the challenges, the sad and the joyful times.

I’ve always enjoyed helping people, especially in the area of personal growth. My first community outreach was at age eleven when I organized a neighborhood carwash to raise money for United Way. Since then, I have volunteered for many non-​profits and organizations that require leadership, compassion, and working with a variety of different personalities and backgrounds. My most satisfying volunteer work these days is my time spent working with dogs at Best Friend Animal Society in Kanab, Utah.
