“Every woman has her own path and should be free to choose that for herself. Practice being thankful for things in your life. Practice looking and listening to people around you. Become a hand raiser! Be open to new opportunities and engaged in what you are doing. You never know who is noticing that kind of interest!”

“My mentors in the past have been male, which for obvious reasons does not bother me. I hope that I can be a mentor for those who I encounter, and would suggest that others gravitate towards leaders that they can connect with – regardless of gender. Don’t search for a specific profile of a person to help elevate yourself, surround yourself with those who will recognize your accomplishments for what they are, not who you are.”
