Who is your role model?

I have been blessed with amazing parents. I strive to be more like my father every day. As an immigrant, he came to the United States and created a life for his family with his amazing faith, work ethic, intelligence, and dedication. Everything he does is with his family in mind. He possesses so many admirable qualities including patience, loyalty, kindness, and discipline. The world would be a better place with more people like him.

How do you impact your clients?

I hope that my clients find a warm caring family-like feeling with clear, educated communication. I love establishing a rapport and understanding with clients and having them know that we have the same goals in mind—providing the best care possible for them and their pets.

What advice would you give to future Power Women?

My advice would be to stay professional. Your demeanor, attitude, and the way in which you carry yourself speak volumes. Always put your best foot forward and be friendly and inclusive. What better way to build relationships than communication?
