With strong conviction, she believes “Where there is no vision, the people will perish” Proverbs 29:18 and is reminded of the wise saying “if you give a man a fish he will eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime”.

She believes the best way to assure the success of an individual is to accommodate them holistically.
