Personal/Professional Philosophy: Reach for the stars!

A Favorite Book: Lost in Translation by Eva Hoffman.

Lessons Learned: I have learned that when I operate from anger and victimization, I collude in my own oppression. When I operate from an open heart and strength, I invite partnership to end all oppression. I choose partnership.
