I like media that not only educates women about their rights but also provides role models who are not based on fashion trends and body image.

Career: what do you do or want to do?

I'm an executive recruiter.

What skills and interests to do you have to offer to others in the Red Tent Women's Project communty? This is your chance, so sell yourself!

I've met with many challenges throughout my life but have faced them head on and know from personal experience women can do anything! I am happy to share those stories with others.

What would you like other members of this community to know? About yourself, about the world...anything (try not to be profane, though)!

We are strong, intelligent, caring and very able. I see it all around me, now if only we as women would believe it.

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

I've always known women matter but I will say, what is taking place in politics at the moment is so inspirational but also eye-opening. It shows us what we can achieve but also what remains to be achieved.
