Tomorrow (05.16.13) will be a special day for me, as I will be recognized by Latinas in Business for being a leading Latina Technology. I'm super excited and honored for this recognition. The fun doesn't stop there ... the following morning, Friday (05.17.13), I graduate with my Executive MBA from Fresno State. It's humbling to reflect on how much I've accomplished and how quickly things have changed over the last two years, and still keep changing. Thank you for celebrating this exciting season with me!
