What personality traits do you love about yourself?

One of my most cherished personality traits is my unwavering determination. I tackle challenges head-on, believing in the power of strategy and action. While I recognize the importance of analysis, I understand that eventually, one must dive in and persist until completion. Completion, I've learned, doesn't always equate to perfection, but the journey is vital. Anyone who knows me understands my drive; it's a defining aspect of my character.

I draw inspiration from Robin Roberts, who emphasizes the values of determination, dedication, drive, and discipline. Among these, determination stands out as the cornerstone. Living by these principles, especially with determination at the core, has enabled me to achieve the goals I set for myself.

 Share a piece of advice that would lift other women up and empower them.

One of the most powerful pieces of advice I can share with younger women is to nurture an unshakable belief in something larger than oneself. Personally, I find purpose in a life of service, dedicating myself to a higher calling—my allegiance lies with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Embracing this unwavering faith allows me to believe in myself wholeheartedly. With that belief, coupled with determination, drive, discipline, and dedication, one can achieve any goal. Remember, you are capable of accomplishing remarkable feats, but it all begins with believing in yourself wholeheartedly.

What would you tell your 14 -year -old self now?

I would whisper to my 14-year-old self, "Everything you desire will unfold. At 14, you have this fierce belief that you can conquer the world, achieve anything. Hold on to that. Stay audacious, stay determined. Sure, patience is a virtue, but your dreams, those seeds you plant now, they will sprout and flourish. One of your goals will take 36 years to blossom fully. So, embrace the journey; it might take time, but trust me, it will all happen."
