BIO ~ Elizabeth Read-Miller
Beth’s passion is to help people.
She currently works as an Interior/Kitchen Designer but since the loss of her mom has felt there was something missing.
The idea for T.W.I.G.S. came from Beth sharing her experiences as a daughter of a cancer patient with others and wanting to find a way to give back in honor of her mom.
This is a cause she is passionate about and she is determined to find success in her pursuit. As a business owner she already understands the ins and out of running a business along with how to be a successful manager.
T.W.I.G.S. is Beth’s way of combining her skills with her passion.
