A Mission Built From Resilience, Dedication, and Purpose

From a hospital bed to CEO: How I turned adversity into purpose and built a thriving business.

A Mission Built From Resilience, Dedication, and Purpose

I didn’t begin my journey in a boardroom—I began it in a nursing home, fighting to rebuild my life after a double amputation. But even in that moment, when everything felt uncertain, I made a decision: I would not quit.

From that place, I rose. I became a life insurance agent, a notary public, and ultimately the CEO of GUARDIAN Insurance & Notary Services. I built a career from a hospital bed, transformed obstacles into opportunity, and discovered a strength I never knew I possessed. My path hasn’t been easy, but it has been filled with purpose, intention, and unwavering faith in what’s possible.

My message to every woman is simple: Your story isn’t over. No matter where you are or what you’re facing, your purpose can rise from any place. Stay consistent. Stay hopeful. Keep moving forward.

If I can do it, you can too.

Keep rising.
