This project is dedicated to my father and mother — Jerry and Diane Tiesman — who have instilled in me the determination and confidence to achieve my goals. I would not have achieved what I have without their love and undying support.
This is also dedicated to the women of the world who continue to put passion and hard work into their careers whether it be for their families or for themselves. One by one, they are changing the world.
