"Being a mum to two beautiful girls is my biggest privilege in life and a role I cherish. I want my girls to know that you can balance family and a career and the fulfilment you get from this well outweighs the challenges. We live in an all-girl household – even our cat and dog are female – but I attribute a lot of my drive to my Dad. He came from a very humble background, put himself through university and built a successful career. He taught me that work ethic eats “clever” for breakfast."
