Tell us about a professional goal you have made strides towards this year.

I have been working really hard for the last year to line everything up in order to develop and launch a new tequila brand. My goal is to establish myself as a business owner which is really exciting. I have worked for large companies and law firms in the past and now I am entering my first foray into entrepreneurship. My goal is to earn credibility as an entrepreneur this year. I have been studying everything from tequila production to tax laws, digital marketing, branding and logistics to attain this professional goal.

What are you most grateful for?

I am grateful for my three children who entertain me all the time. I am also grateful that I have the opportunity to pursue my career goals and start my own business.

What do you want to be known for?

I want to be know for creating an amazing, successful company and for inspiring and supporting other female founders. I hope to be thought of as an advisor and mentor to other founders by offering guidance and sharing my learnings from my entrepreneurial joinery. In addition, I want to be known as a thoughtful angel investor that invests in and helps launch women owned companies.

What do you think is your greatest strength?

My greatest strength is my diligence. When there is a difficult task at hand I will focus and work until I complete it. I am a very thorough researcher and I make every decision based on data and analysis. I am willing to take as much time as necessary to make sure I understand something completely. This includes being really prepared before every discussion and meeting. I honed my researching and analytical skills in law school and these skills have been helpful in my business as well.

What is something people would be surprised to learn about you?

Even though I seem pretty reserved, I really like to dance and I will dance at any opportunity. Also, people are usually surprised to learn that I really like poker and craps.
