Who is your favorite female figure or most inspirational women's history event throughout history, and why?
My favorite female figure is Rihanna.  I respect her for her artistry, her business, and how she is so unapologetically herself.  As a billionaire, she made herself into an international icon that is easily recognized for her fashion, music, business, and humanitarian work.  I absolutely love her! 

What is your favorite book/movie/tv show/performance that includes a strong woman lead, and why?
My favorite that includes a strong woman lead is actually from a moment in the movie Avengers: End Game.  SPOILER ALERT: I teared up when all the powerful female avengers came through with Captain Marvel when it seemed like all was lost in the battle.  It was such an empowering moment to see; I cried and cheered! 
​
Please share some motivational words for our young female students at MUSD?
Follow your passions and lead with your heart through all that you do.  Always remember that you are strong and valued.  If there is a role, a job, or a career that just seems to be dominated by men, yet it is something that you want to do, DO IT.  When someone says you can't, YOU CAN.  And lastly, as a young female, start to learn now how to love yourself, so you'll never have to look for anything or anyone to complete you; you'll already have it all.
