I was a Michelin Star bartender in one of the most celebrated restaurants in Manhattan.  I worked 12 hour days, with no control over my weekly schedule.  I worked long evenings. I worked holidays and birthdays.  I ate “family meal” quickly, often standing-up.  

Then one day I could not get up after sitting down. When I woke-up in the ICU the next day, my family begged me to make a change.  They did not want a life where they could not call, see, or dance with their older sister. My friends echoed his plea. I knew in that moment that I was going to have a second chance at life; and that I was going to make it beautiful.

I started following women who had drastically changed their lives with digital marketing.  I did my research and selected DWA because they emphasized not just education and knowledge (I had NO idea where to begin and one very unused personal instagram account); but more importantly, there are so many different modules and opportunities.  As well as, a community that is constantly growing and supportive. 

I can still make a mean martini, but now I make them for myself and the people that I love.
