Proudest Professional Achievement and Why?
Turning my gifts into assets that help people become alive at work because it honors my mission on this planet.

Proudest Personal Achievement and Why?
Buying my own flat at 20 with no help and start a new life entirely on my own because as a young girl I didn’t know I could ever make it.

Three words someone else would use to describe me:
Energetic, passionate, knowledgeable.

I consider a day a success if:
Utilized my gifts to make someone else life better.

The toughest challenge I’ve ever faced is:
Moving to London alone and with few resources to discover it was way tougher than I thought.
