What woman in your life has been the greatest source of inspiration to you?
My mother, Maita. She raised my 5 siblings and me by herself. She has always been a model for me.
What does it mean to be extraordinary?
Wow! Big question. But really, who is extraordinary. I think we impose our own judgment on who is ”extra” or “better” when really we are all doing extraordinary work. I think that so many women I know work incredibly hard, and that, to me, is extraordinary.
How do you hope to inspire the next generation of women?
I view my role as a teacher, mother and community member as a model. I try to model and inspire kindness
every
day
. I hope to inspire others to view the importance of interpersonal relationships and respect for others.
What motivates you to do your extraordinary work?
I love my students! They feed my curiosity, intellectualism and desire to laugh every day. I love hearing from them after they graduate. I am continually inspired by them.
