Ten minutes with Elizabeth
01What do you attribute your success to?
My parents were very influential, providing a strong foundation built on principles that hard work and determination contribute to success, but ultimately the keys to success could be found in education. When I was little, I wanted to be both a doctor and a teacher, and I got to be both by earning my PhD and becoming an educator. I knew early on that this would be my purpose in life.
