Welcome! If you're new around here, let me introduce myself. 😌💚 My name is Nikki, and I'm the founder of LaLune.✨🌙
I'm 24 years old, born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. As an only child, my passion for business and marketing only blossomed a few years ago.
As a child, I dreamt of becoming the next Hannah Montana 🎤, leading my mom to enroll me in singing lessons. However, realizing singing wasn't my forte, I turned to the piano, which sparked my interest in other instruments like the violin, oboe, bassoon, and even the ukulele.
My journey in music kindled a desire to become a music teacher, though I was advised by many to seek a more lucrative career.
After high school, I enrolled in university with the aim of becoming a psychologist. During my studies, I experienced what some might call an identity crisis 😅, eventually graduating in legal assistant studies.
While at university, I worked full-time in a restaurant, eventually becoming a shift leader. The onset of Covid-19 forced a career shift, leading me to a receptionist role at a dealership, where I progressed to a service appointment coordinator and then a service advisor. It was my ability to build relationships with clients that truly made me stand out.
It was during my time at the dealership that I decided to start my own business in marketing, despite initially not knowing where to begin. I turned to "YouTube University" 🙃, but it was my role at a magazine that taught me the essentials of networking, finding a mentor, and acquiring my first client.
This role was pivotal in launching my career in marketing, teaching me about paid advertising, social media strategies, and client engagement.
Throughout this journey, my fiancé has been an unwavering source of support, marking a first in my life for such partnership.
Despite my Filipino mother's different career aspirations for me—doctor, lawyer, or perhaps a nurse—she has supported my chosen path with love.
In my leisure time, I enjoy playing golf, learning French, playing the bass guitar, and traveling, all while nurturing my business.
LaLune's vision is rooted in forging lasting relationships between consumers and organizations. Essentially, I aim to create lifelong customers for businesses, valuing the irreplaceable connection of real human interaction.
Embracing my role as a novice business owner, I believe in the power of failure as a catalyst for growth and success.
I cherish my community—friends, family, fiancé, and our pets.
And I'm thrilled to have you join me on this journey!
xoxo,
Nikki Lacroix
