What makes you feel powerful?

The people I surround myself with. There will always be days you may find it hard to believe in yourself, but your people will never stop. The moment you surround yourself with people who lift you up, is the moment you will never settle for anyone who doesn't. Oh, and a great pair of heels.

Secret to success:

Taking a moment to be proud of myself. Early in my career, I felt acknowledging my successes could feel like bragging, even just to myself. Then I came to realize these were my accomplishments, I worked for them and they should be celebrated. Recognizing these moments empowers me to work harder and continue to carve my path to success.
