"I do not consider that being a woman is a restraint, weakness, or excuse. Sometimes I find myself in a conference room as the only woman present. My mentor told me that I should embrace and appreciate every woman I meet on the way, I think that’s the main lesson I’ve learned and I’m going to implement it on my journey."
