When a powerful woman walks into the room you won’t miss it, all heads turning to admire her confidence. She commands the room with just a look, her drive and ambition burning life a fire deep within her eyes.

Her success didn’t come from having an easy life, she has had her share of challenges and struggles, but she refuses to give up or back down – tackling the challenges of life head on and coming out on top. Positive and upbeat, she lights up every room she walks into, motivating and inspiring others.
