LIFE LESSON:
Life’s a rush into the unknown … you can duck down or you can stand tall and say "Bring it on...and don’t be stingy with the jalapenos."

FIRST JOB: At age 15 I was a "fashion consultant" for a women’s clothing store. When we made our daily goal, our wages were doubled. I became a quick study in team-based selling!

I WISH I HAD KNOWN YEARS AGO: I am stronger, smarter and more deserving than the little voice in my head says.

GREATEST PASSION: Raising my three children to acknowledge and realize their amazing potential.

KEY TO SUCCESS: Perseverance, listening, empathizing; and a healthy dose of sheer will.

MENTOR: My father. I couldn’t imagine a better mentor, sounding board, coach, and staunch supporter.

MOST REWARDING: Helping others map out and achieve their professional and personal goals.

MOTIVATOR: The best motivator for me: "...To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded" – Ralph Waldo Emerson
