I am thrilled to introduce myself as the CEO and founder of CitrisSan! The inspiration for CitrisSan sparked from a crucial need for hand sanitizer in my community during the pandemic, when shortages left everyone scrambling. Fueled by determination, I set out to create my own hand sanitizer, ensuring it was as natural as possible and bursting with delightful citrus scents. After countless trials and a few hilarious mishaps, including a massive 5-gallon batch that didn’t make the cut, I finally nailed the perfect formula that meets FDA regulations with a powerful 60% ethyl alcohol!

Eager to share my creation, I launched my first booth at the local farmers market, offering two fabulous scents and bottle sizes. The response was incredible! People loved the refreshing aroma and smooth feel of my sanitizer, which led to an exciting expansion of my product line. Now, I proudly offer three signature hand sanitizer scents, artissan soap, facial cleanser, therapeutic body scrubs, body balms, hand crème and more. 

My love for science ignited in high school when I won a science fair with a project on plants and snails, leading to surprising discoveries about their survival. My dad beamed with pride that day, especially since I was one of only two Black students in my school. His unwavering encouragement to always give my best has been my guiding light on this journey with CitrisSan, and I know he would be bursting with pride over what I’ve achieved today!
