With over 20 years of experience as a critical care nurse and 10 years as a nurse educator, Professor T has always been passionate about health, wellness, and empowering others to live healthier lives. However, her journey into the vending machine business was anything but conventional.
While working as a nurse education consultant and traveling for work, Prof T, found herself in frequent situations where healthy food options were scarce in vending machines at hospitals, offices, and other public spaces. Frustrated by the lack of nutritious choices, she saw an opportunity to create a solution. Drawing on her experience in health education, Prof T, decided to launch her own healthy vending company.
Starting her business in an unfamiliar state was challenging, especially when it came to securing prime vending locations. However, Prof T quickly realized that understanding the dynamics of location acquisition was key to success. She purchased used vending machines, developed a pitch, and successfully landed multiple locations—eventually growing her business to a 13-machine route in a relatively unknown area.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Prof T saw an opportunity to step in as many companies stopped servicing their machines. Balancing her role as a nurse working on the front lines, she took over contracts, further expanding her business. Through strategic decision-making and a strong work ethic, she grew her vending machine operation to a $54,000 annual business.
Today, Prof T is dedicated to teaching others how to start, develop, and scale their own vending machine businesses through Vending Machine Business Mastery. This virtual program, led by her and a team of industry experts—including main educator Nancy Dressing—provides students with the tools and strategies to build their own vending routes, secure profitable locations, and grow a business that can generate passive income.
In addition to her passion for vending, Prof T enjoys designing web content and developing educational resources. With a strong belief in hard work and perseverance, she encourages her students to stay focused and motivated as they build their businesses, just as she did. While success in the vending business doesn’t come overnight, Prof T is proof that with dedication, it’s possible to create a thriving business and achieve financial independence.
"I did not need my health education to make this business successful. What I needed was the ability to manage, stay organized, and be persistent. The pennies add up over time, and so can you."
