Who is your role model?

My role models are my mom and dad. I owe the drive and confidence I had to start Talentfoot at 28 years old to them. Their steadfast support and guidance taught me that anything is possible with hard work, determination, and smart, strategic thinking. I am not sure that Talentfoot would be here today without them!

What influenced your path to success?

I quickly realized that changing lives for the better would be my lifelong mission, after volunteering at a crisis line that provided support for domestic violence, suicide prevention, and gender and sexual identity issues in the Denver metropolitan area. To this day, the crisis line remains one of the most profound experiences of my life. It influences how I view the world, my interactions with others, and how I define empathy and kindness.

What advice would you give to a future Power Woman?

Never lose your confidence or take it for granted. And if you haven’t found your inner confidence yet, good news— it’s a learned skill and I believe it’s never too late. My parents prioritized building my confidence throughout my childhood and as a result, it is important to me to help both children and adults develop or regain their confidence.
