Thank you so much for doing this with us! What is your “backstory”

I have been an educator and life skills workshop facilitator for over 15 years and I specialize in helping women empower themselves with practical knowledge and steps on how to increase their success in their personal life as well as in the development of their careers. I teach that women can have it all. I help serve a vast population of women who are looking for a better life, more opportunities to grow and education on how to create the lives of their dreams.

Can you tell me about the most interesting projects you are working on now?

I am working with a group of women called the Women Who Crypto to increase the participation of women of all backgrounds in learning about blockchain technology and how it can be used for the advancement of Women empowerment / Mother empowerment / Self-employment empowerment.

What are the 5 things that most excite you about crypto? Why?

1. I love how cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is revolutionizing the way we live by expanding the use and transfer of value.

2. I love the idea of peer-to-peer transactions.

3. I love the idea of women getting a head start on creating blockchain businesses and understanding how to take full advantage of the space.

4. I’m intrigued by the idea of seeing one of the largest transfers of wealth in the recorded history of humanity.

5. This new industry will give a lot of people (over 35 years old) a huge opportunity to re-invent themselves.

What are the 5 things worry you about crypto? Why?

1. The high risk volatile nature of cryptocurrencies.

2. Losing my money (due to stupidity, theft or greed).

3. This industry is still new and the learning curve is long.

4. Knowing how to become a skilled crypto-investor requires education, patience and due diligence.

5. Finding the time to learn as much as I can and then implementing what I learn as soon as I can.

What 3 things would you advise to someone who wanted to emulate your career? Can you share an example for each idea?

1. Get your life right- family comes first: Climbing your way from the bottom to the top takes time. You will need lots of hugs, kisses and late night talks to get through it all. Don’t forget to bring all your loved ones along for the ride.

2. Education, education and more education: Do not be the weakest person in the room by having no knowledge of who you are, what you are doing and why.

3. Always save up for a rainy day: Make sure to preserve your relationships with all people that you adore and respect, save more money then you spend, take time to smell the roses and be nice to EVERYONE. Nothing lasts forever.
