I have always done a good job whatever I did but thought that was what you did until I met Sandra...she saw someone who had something to offer more than being a clerk. Because she saw that spark I joined the Federal Women's Program, started a Mentoring Program and later became the Manager after she stepped down. I didn't even know what Mentoring meant but because she thought I could...it was like the little engine that could! Because of her I had some great experiences and learned so much.

My boss today is the other woman; Kathy and we met through Math and Science Network a program encouraging young girls to pursue careers in Math and Science. I had planned a program in the community I lived for the high school girls, not knowing that there was one in place (was building the wheel again) and afterwards she felt I had talent that was untapped and helped me get into the University of Utah. She is always telling everyone how lucky she is to have me as her administrative assistant and how she never has to worry about the office in my hands!

Would I have become the woman I am today without them, maybe but my life has been so much richer just having these women in my life...Sandra died from Breast Cancer several years ago and in my lowest times I miss her so much, she used to call and take me out to lunch to check on how my life was going and if I needed anything. Kathy well I work for her and she is always there to listen and encourage.

As Women's History Month approaches look at the Women who have helped YOU make your HISTORY!!!
