Hometown: Scottsdale
First job: I worked at a bakery selling baked goods.
Favorite ways to spend your free time in AZ: Hiking and visiting vegan restaurants.
Your biggest accomplishment and why: Raising four talented children into creative, productive, and caring people. The next generation will do things their way, and I want them to be community and world contributors.
The biggest obstacle you overcame: The sudden passing of my father. My family and I were not ready to say goodbye, and it drastically changed our lives. Grieving was hard enough on its own, but the added role of caretaker to my family while being a mother was too much at the time.
Someone who inspires you and why: My mother. She’s 85, but despite her many life and health obstacles, she has the same strength and spunk. She always tries to keep her family and faith intact.
Advice to someone pursuing a career path in what you do: Learn all you can every day and embrace a mindset of continuous progress. Rest, cry, have a spa day, hit the beach— but never give up.
Favorite quote: “Man’s greatest tragedy isn’t that he lost, it’s that he almost won.” – Andy Andrews
Something someone would be surprised to learn about you: I’m very sensitive.
What makes someone fabulous: Their commitment to being who they authentically are and feeling free to bring that into the world with a loving and kind energy.
