About Her:

Wenona was born and raised in Midland, Michigan and is very proud of her Mid-Western origin. She completed her undergraduate degree at Northwood University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a duo minor in Fashion Merchandising/Business Management. She is a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority and remains in contact with many of her high-school and college friends to this day which is very important to her. Since Wenona has never been a fan of cold weather, it was no surprise to her friends and family that she relocated to S. Florida after college, and has lived in West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Stuart, and Palm City over the past several years enjoying the warmth. 

Wenona has twin children, her son Asher & daughter Amelia who are her ongoing daily motivation for pursuing her own business and helping others. Her children are her little besties, her stars, the “three amigos” and they truly enjoy every day what life has to offer.  She also is “completely obsessed” with dogs, most especially Australian Shepherds, which has been her breed of choice for the past several years. Wenona currently owns two Australian Shepherds Huckleberry a Black-Tri (Huck) & Piper a Double-Merle (rescue from Oklahoma who is deaf and visually impaired). 

Wenona is also very passionate about the healthcare industry, specifically relating to seniors and chronic or serious illness management. She unfortunately lost her mother on February 29th, 2022, at age 72 on hospice services, at Cleveland Clinic Hospital. Her mother’s health started to suffer due to diabetes and heart issues in her 50’s. In 2021 she had her first stroke, and then another during heart surgery, which led to her passing. Wenona is determined to continue her passion helping seniors and their family with chronic disease and serious illness conditions. She dedicates her morals, work ethic, drive, passion, and love for animals to her mother, Kathy Sanders, who is smiling down on her every day from heaven. 

Lastly, Wenona is consistently involved helping children and animal related non-profits either personally or professionally.
