Lesson from my mentor: Don’t let anyone hold you back because you are a woman.
Most important daily habit: I walk through the office when I arrive and say “good morning” to all of our staff.
I unwind at day’s end by: Having a glass of wine with dinner and a long, hot bath at the end of the evening.
Place I recommend everyone visit: Amalfi Coast
If I retire Friday, Monday I will: Be going stir crazy.
