Welcome Jada Willis to 20/20 BOSSUP!
Educator, confidence coach, fashion stylist…all of these titles have been used to describe Jada Willis. A Las Vegas native, she found her way into the Hospitality & Gaming industry in 2007 after earning her MBA from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University. As an operations analyst for two large luxury resorts, Jada was responsible for developing the financial literacy of mid-level managers.
Jada’s passion to teach goes beyond the numbers. With a heart for women and a desire to “play in people’s closets for a living”, Jada started Tailor St. Claire Style- a full service personal styling company guiding women into dressing like superheroes they are. Through St. Claire Style, Jada has found herself coaching others not only on how to master their wardrobe, but re-igniting confidence in their understanding the importance of one’s uniqueness. Jada has encouraged rooms filled with women looking to get back into the workforce to those of formerly incarcerated men ready to re-enter society.
When Jada isn’t busy chasing a set of twin boys, she is enjoying (and singing obnoxiously to) good music with her husband; escaping to the beach; and trying desperately to catch up on her Netflix series favorites. We are so excited Jada will be speaking at the 20/20 BOSSUP event on February 23rd. Purchase your ticket today here. They are going fast. Be sure to follow Jada on Instagram. @tailorst.claire
