Hello my name is Alexandra Mendoza, I am 22 years old and I am the face behind Shop Luvely.

I am a small town girl, originally from McMinnville, OR but raised in Porterville, CA. I began my journey with Shop Luvely in July of 2020 in the middle of this Pandemic. Never in a million years did I think I would take this path in my career life. I always wanted to go into the education system and work with children. I am a current student at California State University, Bakersfield. My field of study is Child, Adolescent and Family Studies. I have decided to remain in school while I finish my current degree and obtain a Master's Degree. 

In May of 2021, I took a leap of faith and decided to lease a location in Downtown Main St, in Porterville, CA. We renovated to full building and customized the store to my own liking with the help of my parents, siblings, and friends. After nearly $2 left in my personal bank account I was able to have my grand opening on June 12, 2021. It was the scariest day of my life because I did not know what was going to happen. We had the most successful day
