“I come from a lineage of strong-willed and determined women that spans many generations. One of my ancestors, Florestine Cortes, successfully petitioned the Governor of Louisiana for her freedom, became a businesswoman, and enrolled her children in private schools, beginning a legacy of powerful women. These women who preceded me have guided me in my career and personal life, ensuring I continually strive for improvement.”
