I Gotta Girl For That
Volume 3
I’ve had the privilege of connecting with an incredible group of smart, driven, and generous women through our local Working Women’s network. Many I’ve worked with personally; others I admire for their passion, expertise, and genuine care for helping others.
So if you ever find yourself saying, “Do you know anyone who…?” chances are, I gotta girl for that. 😉
Elder Care Placement Services
Stacey Streeter | Oasis Senior Advisors
There comes a time when the child becomes the caretaker of the parent, and that can be a difficult journey to navigate. That is where Stacey comes in. With a wide range of elder care options in the Cleveland area (ahem, Strongsville) and a growing senior population, every family has unique needs, preferences, and budgets. Stacey is a pro at guiding families through the options and matching their loved ones with the right care solution.

Financial Advisor
Mickey Urbanik | Thrivent
Mickey is following in her father’s footsteps as she leads Thrivent in Medina, all while caring for a new baby. Thrivent’s values-based approach helps clients make smart financial decisions guided by Christian principles, though you do not need to be Christian to work with her. Mickey truly believes she was called to this work and brings heart and clarity to every client’s retirement plan, helping them plan with confidence for life’s what-ifs.

Painting Services
Jen Wolf | Textbook Painting
Jen is the kind of smart, hardworking person who can help run a painting business and keep up with three linebacker-sized boys involved in every sport imaginable. When she is not cheering from the sidelines, she is guiding homeowners through their painting projects, whether it is cabinets, full interior homes, or exterior work. Jen has a true talent for visualizing the finished space and brings a level of professionalism that makes the entire process smooth and exciting.

Interior Design
Eileen Smiley | New Creation Interiors
With more than 40 years of design experience, Eileen truly has a gift for connecting with her clients and understanding the spaces they envision. Her process begins with a thoughtful discovery meeting, where she learns how her clients live, what they love, and what matters most day to day, so she can create spaces that are both beautiful and functional, down to details like seating, layout, and upholstery. Needless to say, every project is intentional and clearly a passion for Eileen.

Media Sales
Dawn Ziemnik | Valpak / Clipp
I met Dawn when our kids were in preschool together, and it was really cool to reconnect with her six years later when I started Buttoned Up, and then again through Working Women’s Connection. Dawn is loyal, caring, smart, well-spoken, and hardworking. She genuinely cares about helping small businesses succeed and does that through her work at Valpak, helping local businesses reach the right customers through targeted direct mail and digital advertising.
Ask her: about her family restaurant, Mulligan’s Bar N’ Grille, which is amazing if you have not been there yet.
