Tune into to here how this stay-at-home Mom of 3 turned her passion for making jewelry into a thriving jewelry business that now spans most of the United States. Jennifer Bonacorsi started her career as a Special Education Teacher. Teaching was her passion and so was helping kids with Special Needs. After teaching for several years Jennifer and Bret Bonacorsi started their own family and Jennifer made the decision to stay home with her children. It was during this time that Jennifer found a passion for jewelry design. She started making jewelry for friends and family and soon started hosting home parties. She did not want to start just another jewelry company. She had a vision to create a kind of company where women could still be creative and not simply sell jewelry from a catalog. Jennifer wanted women to use their creativity to have the success they desire. Through years of experience she also realized women need an easy and simple system along with their creativity. jBloom was soon born. Jennifer wanted to make sure her company would work for everyone. Whether you are looking simply for jewelry at a discount, always having the perfect gift or looking to make an additional income, jBloom will work for you! We invite you to learn more about our unique company WHERE VISION BECOMES REALITY.Jennifer will share:How the business got startedHow she balances family and businessHow the original concept has changed and helped the company grow beyond her wildest dreams
