My mentor is Leo Daiuto, my boss. He is also one of the people I most
admire. The reasons for my admiration is the fact that no matter how
successful he is, he still remembers how to treat people with respect and
dignity. He knows how to make people feel good about the job they are
doing and about themselves. He has excellent business sense and
combines that with his ability to get the most of people to deliver his
business requirement.

I am most proud of the fact that I consider myself very blessed to have
an excellent family and an excellent set of friends.
What advice would you give to young women who want to enter your
field?

I cannot say that I have a favorite book but I have a few favorite

The Web site that I access the most frequently is the Stock Market Web

also the major news of these companies.
What do you see as the single most interesting element of your
work?
The most interesting element of my work is staying abreast and being
part of the latest technologies in the computer field.
What was your darkest moment (professionally) and what did you learn from it?

times that my company went through. The thing that I learned from this

deliver products that would help improve the company.
What do you do to relax?
For relaxation I like to participate in sports, read, knit and do
crossword puzzles.
