Her advice is to take risks and to never
be afraid of taking challenges. “ Why not take
the risk and do something different,” she
shares. “If I don’t like it I can always go
back and do the previous. I have been in the
backline and I always learn something.
You go and make an impact. Continue to
expand and show that everything is possible.
Sometimes we put the barriers on ourselves a
little bit. We have to break that.”
