As a woman mentor and business leader, I often reflect on how grateful I am for the opportunities I had as a teen, access to real-world business and leadership training that shaped my journey, built my confidence and gave me the courage to reach for more. That foundation continues to inform how I show up today: mentoring young women, encouraging them to remain coachable, and staying teachable myself, always learning and evolving.

The greatest leaders I’ve known didn’t just tell me I had potential, they showed me.
