WELCOME NOTE: Hello. This presentation is not a pitch for investment. This video is a collection of work, experience, and validation of research of the protagonist of this story. To share the conflicts she overcame and the goals she achieved. The information shared herein is not a brag to tell you what has been accomplished rather than a summary of her experience in pursuing her dream and a desire for gender equity and the spheres of influence. Women who experience respectful and inclusive workplace culture and allow themselves to work beyond borders are more engaged, productive, and loyal to their company, organizations, and relationships. The protagonist of this story, however, isn’t solely responsible for the success of her research and work. She couldn’t have done this without a supportive family, understanding friends of her absence, and her dedicated field research team. Her loved ones, and team, especially her assistant Wendy, have stepped it up to make this happen. She is grateful to the people who helped her along the way in discovering opportunities in the emerging market. She is looking forward to thanking you in person in the future.
