I'm Maurita. I’m a wife, momma to 4, avid Pinterest fan, Entrepreneur, Leader & crazy audible book addict. As a graduate with a degree in Recreation Management I actually went to university to learn how to throw a great party. {Little did I know that my "partying" skills would become my career. } After graduating I landed my dream job at a recreation facility, working as an Aquatic and Marketing Manager. Managing a large team of employees taught me much about group dynamics, leadership skills, team cohesiveness, customer service and sales. After several years, and 2 littles at home, I asked myself "whom do I want teaching values to my children?” I knew that person was me and stepped down from a job I loved to take care of the people I loved.

It has taken me a few years to share why I joined Scentsy because I was embarrassed of our situation at the time and couldn’t see that the CHALLENGE we faced presented us with a HUGE OPPORTUNITY. Had we not found ourselves in a dire financial situation I would never of joined Scentsy. My husband owned a trucking company and the company filed for bankruptcy. Because we had guaranteed loans and used our personal credit cards to make sure our accounts and employees were paid, we also had to claim personal bankruptcy. That is where we found ourselves.

I needed to help change the future of our family. I still wanted to stay at home with our children, now 4 kids = 6, 4, 2 and 1 month old. So I took a chance and joined Scentsy. It gave me the chance to dream again. I knew we didn’t have a lot of money to invest, but I had time, determination & passion on my side.

That was over 7 years ago. This has become my true DREAM JOB. I have a flexible work schedule, I can work anywhere, I get to spend time with those I love and help with family finances. But even more, Scentsy has given my husband and I lifelong friendships and the opportunity to explore exciting all-expense paid destination around the globe: Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Greece, Amsterdam, Cancun, Cozumel & a Bahamas Cruise (2 cruises in one year), Nashville, & a trip for our entire family to Disney World in Florida. It all takes work, but the reality from that one decision is BIGGER than I could even dream of those years before.

I have been blessed in my Scentsy business to grow an organization that allows me to work with hundreds of consultants around the globe, in Canada, the USA, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
