The Role of Mentors in Your Life: My love for marketing came from my high school DECA teacher.  She inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and to believe in myself.  I looked up to all strong, self motivated women whether they were on television or somehow placed in my path.  I learned long ago there is nothing I cannot accomplish if I believe in myself and work hard.  I now try to recognize passion in my students or friends and fill them with hope for their own future.

Favorite Quotation:  "I do the very best that I know how- the very best that I can; and mean to keep doing so until the end" ~Abraham Lincoln.
