Hello everyone, happy woman's History Month. Let's go back to you, Maria. Can you tell us who is a woman that has been an inspiration in your professional or personal life? I've never been one. To have one or two female leaders that I look up to have a lot of role models right here where I live. One of my biggest ones is actually my grandmother who taught me to respect every single person. No matter where you are, what you do, what you look like, how you act, you always have to find the good in everyone. Deb Figoni, former city. Manager is another one I admired for being courageous under tremendous pressure. I've three woman in my life that have just always been a guiding North star for me it is my mom and it is My sisters really showed me how strong, resilient and independent Vietnamese woman can be. They persevere in almost everything because they've taught me that you know you always wanted to strive to be the best person, best version of yourself. The two women who. Have inspired me throughout my life where my grandmother and my mom, they both came from Mexico and immediately started working hard to provide a better life for me and my family. And so just seeing them and how hard they work and how they never complained and always just try to give us the best. I'm really inspired me to want to help other people as well.
