Mireya is a Certified Balloon Artist (CBA) and a Master Certified Party Decorator (MCPD).

She has been working in the balloon industry for seven years and received her certification in 2014.

Mireya recently started her home based business and is working full time doing balloon décor.

I ran into Mireya at the America’s Baking and Sweets Show. She was selected to do the décor for the show and it caught my eye. After talking with her, I just knew we had to have her on the show to share her story.
