What would you tell your 14 year old self?

I would say you are beautiful. Take risks in your life and don’t be scared. And be brave. That’s my message to myself.

who were your biggest influences in life?

My mom. She was beautiful - inside and out. She was caring, loving, she was happy all the time, and she was generous. I’m still inspired by her. Even in my thoughts I’m always looking towards her. I am overwhelmed by how wonderful she was. She was an amazing woman. She still is my inspiration.

Share an experience or a piece of advice to help lift other women up.

I enjoy every single day. Every single minute of life. You are beautiful. You are enough.
