I balance a rewarding career in cancer/rare disease research with leading an active and spontaneous lifestyle.

I am more comfortable than ever in my skin! I have a clear understanding of my strengths and I know what I bring to the table with confidence. The wealth of life experience I've gathered over the years helps me be a more effective leader and mentor others. Most importantly, I have a strong sense of balance and I am able to prioritize what is most important in my career, personal life, and passions. I love life and feel like I have gotten better with age just like a fine wine.
How do you stay fabulous?To stay fabulous, I focus on enjoying life to the fullest. I make vacations to sunny places a priority because it refreshes my perspective and allows me to relax and enjoy life. Exercise is also a key part of my routine, helping me stay energized and feeling my best. Most importantly, I make time for fun- whether it's spending time with family and friends or pursuing hobbies that bring me joy. Staying active, curious, and embracing new experiences keeps me vibrant and fabulous!
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000 I would first donate a portion to Happy Bundles which is a non profit that helps bring joy to kids fighting cancer. I'd then use part of it to take my family on a fun and memorable vacation. It's important to me to spend quality time with loved ones and create experiences. Lastly, I would invest the remaining amount in real estate or other opportunities that could grow over time and contribute to long-term financial stability.
