My road to success has been paved with many obstacles, and this my friends, has all been part of the process. When I used to think of a leader, I didn’t see myself and neither did others!

In 2022, my desire is to see more diverse women elevated into leadership roles and build a bigger sphere of influence in their industry, changing the idea of what leaders look like.

I actually genuinely believe, successful people are not the ones who are more intelligent, but the ones who have a strategy to get there, a roadmap that will show the directions.
