WHAT DO YOU DO?
I flirt with a fine line of living the dream slash going batshit crazy... every day. I am also the Founder of a technology/music plarform called Gigit.
I suppose I have my older sister to thank for that. I was sort of always watching her from a distance, and she was always creating. My favourite story is when she was sent home from our Catholic boarding school for a failed business model in the 'Inch Worm Selling Business.' Though quite perky, entertaining, not to mention, a steal at 10 cents in the morning, disgruntled purchasers wanted their money back when the poor bastards died by 5th period.

WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE FOR YOUNGER WOMEN?
Always try to be a great team player and fill hoels as they come up without looking for recognition. When you see an opportunity to ebe helpful to a team or organization, jump in and lead by example. People who move up are the people who fill the role they want to have before they have it without looking for immediate recognition.
