Heather has built a life around the moments that have made a lasting impact on her life, from dance to seeing our countries history and those who sacrificed to make  and protect it. Of course, and arguably most important the power of a dress and the power of empowering others. Heather has fallen in love with helping every girl she comes in contact with feel beautiful, confident and most importantly seen.
