Here at Executive Elements, we like to feature fantastic women we think you should know. Some of these women are clients, some are friends, some are women we’ve only just met. But they all have this in common: they are dynamic, interesting women who have agreed to share with us their insights and secrets to success.

My Hero or Heroes:
This is a hard one for me because I look at individual qualities that I admire in a person so put them all together and you would have a “SUPER HERO” but one that stands out is my Mom. My mom would be one that I would have to say I would chose multiple qualities for my SUPER HERO, she was one of the most loving, kind, supportive people I’ve ever met. She gave to so many by understanding what it was they needed from a smile to a ride to money. She instilled strong morals and values in us and taught us about God and living life.

Massages.

Ohio roots – Delaware, Ohio. Preacher’s kid.

Happy, exciting, full of adventures and empty nester (trying to prep for this).

How I Balance it All:
