Who are the women who inspire you the most, and why?
Working mothers. There is something really empowering about saying, “I can do this! I can handle it all!” My late mother was a great example of a strong, driven woman who was an ICU nurse helping people for over 30 years. At the same time she could balance her career and family, being a great nurturer, baker and seamstress. She was able to make me a carnival costume by hand or bake cookies after the 12-hour shift at the hospital.
