To her rude awakening, she discovers that racism, sexism, poverty, and language barriers threaten to derail her plans. She braces herself for a long, lonely battle, which she determines she must win. She fights the good fight and succeeds as an engineer, entrepreneur, author, and professional motivational speaker. She became the first Asian engineer to serve in the U.S. Council of Engineering Examiners. She received national Entrepreneurial Leadership awards... A gripping true story of grit, tenacity, resilience, and triumph of the human spirit. (Source: http://www.amazon.com)
