In your opinion, why is it important to celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month? What do these annual events mean to you?

I work with and have learned from so many amazing women throughout my career. I also aim to inspire and mentor women coming up in their career. I think International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month are great reminders that we’re all in this together and to lend a helping hand to each other. 

Which women inspire you? 

My grandmother! She grew up during the Nazi occupation in France during WW2 and was the most positive, loving woman. She made everyone feel at home around her no matter where she was. She had a huge impact on my childhood and I aim to be as nurturing, caring, thoughtful, and kind as her every day.

What was the most important piece of advice you’ve been given that you’d like to share with other women?

Life is not a dress rehearsal; it’s the real deal.
