Why did you opt for entrepreneurship?
My career has naturally progressed to entrepreneurship as I made money for my organization, but always knew I could do better if I made it on my own and enjoy the freedom to choose how to turn ideas in to marketable goods.
Combining actual high-tech sensors, blockchain protocol, and the use of smart contracts, Proof Work states that it is building the world’s first building blocks for publicly verifiable, community-driven pharmaceutical and patient wellness programs
What was your biggest road block?
I have always had to prove myself in a man's World ... my experience and skills were never enough. But this made me more resilient and stronger to be more focused in my goals.
What was most inspiring in your journey?
My journey has been a rollercoaster. But at each road block, I have been blessed with amazing Mentors , the biggest breakthrough was when I was in my 30s and my first real mentor at ATKearney fully supported me and instilled a sense of self-worth and confidence. If he had not recruited and taken me under his wings, my journey may have ended differently.
