What is your top challenge and how have you addressed it?
As a working mom, work life balance has been part of the challenge. Accepting help and respite has been one of the ways to address this. Funding the company and finding the right team to help me expand it and take it to the next level.
Who is your most important role model?
My mother. She is the most hard-working person I know. My family as wonderful, supportive and positive. They never let me give up.
