TUCSON, Ariz. — The holiday shopping season officially kicks off next week, and small business owners in Tucson are hoping for a flurry of sales.“I was a surgical technologist,” she told KGUN. “It was exactly what I wanted to do. I love surgery. I love helping people... When the pandemic hit, my program that I was in, it was put on hold.”
“I never thought a creative outlet could be a career for me,” she said. “It couldn’t take me any further than just a side job. And that really changed everything for me.”In January, she opened Chingona Arizona, a small, colorful gift shop off of Tucson’s 4th Avenue. She explains that her own work often draws from her sense of humor, which she calls “sassy” or “rough around the edges.”
