Growing up, what did you want to be? I wanted to be a flight attendant, a model and also an attorney. I became a flight attendant for 11 years; I did some modeling; but I never became an attorney – instead I became a Realtor, which I am glad I did since I dont have to sit in an office every day. My office is on the go.
If you could have lunch with a well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why? Pope Francis. This is the first time I feel like meeting a Pope. I admire Pope Francis for his honesty, big smile and his humble ways. The world needs more leaders like him.

Where do you go to network and meet new clients? I belong to different networking groups, so I go to various events and places.
