Who had the biggest influence on your career & why?

My mother – she always strived to teach my sisters and I to work hard and give 110% to everything we do. She taught us to be independent, not to wait around for someone to do things for us. She always said if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Because of her influence, I have confidence to accomplish anything I set my mind to as long as I work hard and give it my absolute best. She also told me that being a woman and a minority in the business world has many challenges but also a few perks.
