Mantra

Advice to the future women leaders & entrepreneurs: Don't be afraid of the unknown. Experience in one area can be applied to a different field. You must be willing to take chances and get out  of your comfort zone to achieve success. Studying music gave me discipline and perseverance . Although I was not trained in the medical field but management of medical bluishness is not different from other businesses. You just have to constantly learn and lead by example.
