What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them?
I have one daughter and she is an active six year old, with a curious mind. Fortunately she has been bitten by the travel bug at an early age and we love to travel to exciting places globally. Due to business, I travel primarily to developing markets and it always fascinates me how quickly she adapts to the local environment. More importantly, nothing brings a brighter smile to anyone’s face, anywhere in the world, than a child who wants to find out more about the world around her, no matter what race, language or culture it is.
My greatest wish for her is to constantly learn and to love learning about the world around her; to find something that she is passionate about and devote herself fully to it and to surround herself with individuals who are as positive, as curious and as passionate as she is.

When and where are you the happiest?
I am happiest when I am surrounded by my family, a book in one hand, a drink in another and looking out over an ocean somewhere.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Bali, Indonesia. The sunsets, temples, artisans, the warmth of the people and the food, no other place like it in the world.
Who has had the biggest influence upon you? And what quality do you most admire in a mother?
The two most influential people in my life are my mother and my daughter. My mother has worn many hats in her life and has always done what is best for her family. She has been a teacher, a stay at home mother and an active part of her community. She still gets a kick out of meeting people and discovering new places and is always ready to try something different. My daughter has made me a better global citizen. I am more patient, less selfish and more concerned about the world we live in than before she was born. I am so grateful for them both.
The most admirable thing I find in a mother is the ability to teach her children right from wrong, to stand up for themselves and others in the face of injustice and having the courage to let them make their own mistakes. I am hoping I am doing this with my child, although I have not been tested yet.
