Life is yours to build into a place where you can dream, control your dream and go from walking to swimming to surfing and riding the waves to walk again with a grain of sand scratching your toes encouraging you to try run to create your reality.

What was your "women really matter and I'm going to do something about it" moment?

I have many sisters, a mother and two grandmothers where are strong and soulful woman. They were of the "if you don't have anything nice to say; don't say anything" upbringing and taught me to say it real but keep it nice. I found that works wonderfully in conflicts and I still use this as I speak my truths. I am a professional woman and I don't ever forget to present that - the boundaries and goals are clearly stated with a smile and I work really hard not to let anyone make me less of what I want to be.
