I started fulFILLed-Utah’s first mobile refillery-at the Park City Farmer’s Market in June of 2021. She walked me through her business model, and hours later I was researching used Nissan vans. I immediately reached out to Kelly, the owner, and signed up for an hour of her time. I sat on this idea for many months until a google search turned up Refillery LA-a mobile refill station in California that was built out of a van. It was then that I decided I wanted to start a zero-waste business-unclear at that time exactly what that would be. Like many others, this time in isolation afforded me a lot of time to think about what I really wanted out of life. I did PR for a couple of years, and then the pandemic hit. In fact, after my children were born, my desire to be a better steward only grew. I left television news in 2017, but my passion for environmental advocacy, and the desire to do more, never left me. I also had a segment on Friday nights called “Recycle This,” where I helped educate people on what does and does not belong in their blue bins. I covered everything from the Willard Bay oil spill to hazardous air quality issues, and the declining health of the Great Salt Lake and Bonneville Salt Flats. Towards the end of my career at ABC4 Utah, I became the resident environmental reporter. I was a news anchor/reporter for close to 15 years. Instead of talking to people through a TV screen, I get to meet people (face-to-face) every day and help them live more sustainable lives. I should say-I am a journalist-because journalists never really stop telling stories. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.īeing an entrepreneur is not something I ever envisioned for myself. Hi Kimberly, thanks for sharing your story with us.
