Surviving cancer has taught me to live life to the fullest, and never give up. I have been on a journey these last seven years, after the battle with cancer. Now my journey has brought this wonderful title into my life to share my knowledge and life lessons with others. To all of the women out there, follow your hearts. Only you know what your dreams and goals are. And only you can achieve them!”
