Through her SBA 8(a) and WOSB-certified firm, she partners with federal agencies, corporations, and nonprofits to deliver innovative workforce solutions that drive leadership excellence, organizational growth, and lasting impact. December has a way of asking us two questions at once: What did this year teach you? And who are you becoming in the next one? If you’re anything like many women I know, you may be ending the year hopeful… but also juggling a little uncertainty, a little exhaustion, and perhaps a quiet question about whether you’re truly on the right path.
