Quote she lives by: "The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become." (Heraclitus)

Where she hopes to be in the next few years: In the next five years, I plan to assist the nonprofits in Orange County through my foundation work and volunteering. When my children are off to college, it would be great to ramp up my work-life again. Following my passion to make a difference, it would be meaningful to help run a foundation or nonprofit organization in Orange County.
