What woman / women do you admire the most and why ?
My mom always told me I can do anything I put my mind to . She encouraged me to take risks and go for my dreams and never judged me for any of my decisions . When I doubted myself , she was always there to support and guide me . She fought for my sisters and me to go to college since she knew it was important for us to be educated , independent women . She always made me feel confident and powerful .
I have also been fortunate to work with so many incredible women in the industry , from managers to CEOs to Female Founders – who always took the time to acknowledge me , guide me and empower me as a business owner .
