What if you were told your whole life that your dreams are not possible? Dr. Corinne Devin was able to conquer three dreams (orthodontists, pageantry, naval officer) that she had been told were impossible based on her personal areas of weakness that required her to challenge herself to overcome them. She was able to forge a path that allowed her to tackle several difficult opportunities. From them, she learned how to be a feminine leader in a male-dominated environment. She navigated her career and learned tools that she could bring to each area of her life. Dr. Devin will discuss the hardships and struggles she encountered along the way and how she conquered them.
