What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part is watching my children grow into their own, knowing I helped shape their courage, kindness, and curiosity. Every small win, every lesson learned, and every smile shared reminds me that the love and guidance I pour into them is makes a difference. There is no greater joy than seeing them thrive and knowing I played a part in it.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

I’ll always remember the first time my daughter stood up for herself and others, showing strength and compassion beyond her years, proof that the lessons I teach are blooming within her. I will never forget the day my son looked at me and said, “You are a brave girl, Mom.” In that moment, I realized he saw in me the strength and courage I try to teach him every day.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would first secure my children's education and personal growth through enrichment programs and educational support. Then, I would extend this blessing by investing in community projects focused on mentoring and supporting girls facing challenges so they, too, can see a brighter future. A gateway trip would be so lovely, too!
