About Me

I am a senior at Richland County High School. I am a STRIPES recipient and I have received high honors throughout my entire school career. I am involved in Future Business Leaders of America and Travel Club. In my free time I enjoy reading, baking, traveling and hanging out with my friends. Throughout my time in the CEO program, I hope to gain lots of experience and grow as much as I possibly can in the world of business. Although I am undecided on what I want to do in the future, my hope is that CEO ultimately puts me on the right path for my future career. I believe CEO will equip me with many life skills needed for my future. I look forward to becoming a better and more confident leader thanks to CEO. I am very grateful to have been given the opportunity to take part in the 2025 Richland County CEO Program.

About My Business

Flicker & Flame Candle Creations is owned and operated by Ainsley Doris. Flicker & Flame Candle Creations originates from Ainsley's frustration with high candle prices and short burn times. Many commercial candles, like those from Walmart, use paraffin wax, which burns quickly and emits toxins. While Bath & Body Works candles use a soy-paraffin blend, they still have drawbacks. Candles at Flicker & Flame Candle Creations combine the best of both worlds: reasonable prices and all-natural soy wax. Soy wax burns 30-50% longer than paraffin wax and is cleaner for the environment, addressing both cost and sustainability concerns. Driven by a passion for candles and the desire for affordable, eco-friendly options, Flicker & Flame Candle Creations aims to produce high-quality candles that customers and their environment will love. The product line includes a 10 oz single-wicked candle priced at $15, wax melts for $7, and a specialty 16 oz candle, The Olney Tiger, available for $25. Ainsley crafts each candle by hand, offering a range of scents such as Sea Salt & Orchid, Coastal Linen, Fresh Vanilla, Birthday Cake, and Autumn Breeze.
