1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
Self Awareness. When we see ourselves clearly we are more confident and more creative. We make sounder decisions, build stronger relationships, and communicate more effectively. Self Awareness enables us to be more effective leaders who are guided by clear intention. When we are self aware our motivation is honed and we are empowered to drive positive social change.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
My husband is the most supportive person in my life. He is sweet and thoughtful; he has a very kind soul and is a devoted family man. While he can be forgetful at times, he can be even more forgiving. He is full of compassion, love, and strength. When the children and I need a strong hand of support, he is always there.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I have very fond memories of the first trip with my family. I was 10 years old and it was my first time on an airplane. It was a very simple and happy life experience. As a parent my life is one defined by responsibilities to my children. During these busy times there are moments when I yearn for the simple days of childhood. Sometimes we never appreciate the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
My best friends in high school always said that I am a very ambitious and driven person. I thrive on challenge and constantly set goals which drive personal growth and progress. I’m not comfortable with settling and am always looking for an opportunities to do better and achieve greatness. I’m also a people-person and was known as the funniest person in my class.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
My husband would love for me use the money to help those who are less fortunate. The world is a difficult place where a lot of people face poverty, hunger and war. Money is a great enabler and even small amounts can result in outsized impact. As a couple we believe in sharing abundance to help those in need. It’s a blessing that my husband and I share the same values in this regard.
