Bio

My name is Patricia Florence. I enjoy making and creating. I am an artist and entrepreneur. My passion is helping other women learn how to turn their talents into income to support their families. I enjoy finding ways to make money with little to no start up costs, simply pure talent. I enjoy showing others how to repurpose furniture and decorate on a low budget. Last year I helped provide over 500 birthday present to children in low income families. I also help individuals affected by the resent pandemic navigate Florida’s unemployment maze. My hope and dream for the near future is to create a website full of resources for creators to do what they love and get paid doing it.

    Entrepreneurship

    AMPLIFY No Code Scholarship
    An entrepreneur with an idea is a force to be reckoned with! But as soon as there are limits to making that dream a reality, that force fades and dwindles. The no-code movement or no-code technology expands the ability of everyday people to create apps and web pages without having to hire an expensive programmer. With the ability to easily use no-code technology such as software tools and platforms to create apps and web pages allows a vision to become a reality. My passion is to help creative women invest in their family by starting a business with zero to minimal start up costs. The ability to build apps and web pages without coding experience is vital to allowing women achieve their dreams and provide for their families. Entrepreneurs can now start a business with less overhead costs. This allows the dream of owning your own business to seem more obtainable. My dream is to create a platform for creatives to come together and share ways to use their talents to create a revenue stream for their family. I would also love to share various resources to help women build and run a business such as finances, marketing, customer service and many other aspects of running a business. Artists are great at problem solving and thinking outside the box but thoughts of creating ads and spreadsheets can seem daunting. Having platform such as this would create great opportunities for mentorship and strategic alliances from other women with similar goals. No-code means eliminating the learning curve for aspiring entrepreneurs and allowing creators create with out limitations.
