She received a bachelor of arts degree in Mass Communication from Tulane University and a bachelor of fine arts in graphic design from California College of the Arts.

Stationery & handbags that comprised the Beehive Industries line

Petra founded Beehive Co-op Atlanta in 2004 and after three highly successful years announced in January 2007 planned expansion into major U.S. markets through a Beehive franchise program. After numerous requests from people around the country for information on "how you do it" it made sense to take the franchise system and adapt it to suit Beehive's needs. Since 2007 the Franchise Program has morphed into the "Affiliate Program" which has more flexibility and options built into it.
