My Nana – Elizabeth Martin
My Irish Nana set the foundation for my beliefs and morals. She taught me that not all people would be kind - but nevertheless, I always have the opportunity to pause and control how I respond to them and navigate each situation. I have this picture of her above my desk at my home office so that she is with me daily. I am who I am today because of this extraordinary woman I was blessed to have had as my Nana.
