Self-evaluation and constant adjustments have become a way of life for me." Polo prides herself on being a leader in the industry, and loves sharing her expertise with thousands of loyal followers on her social media platforms.

My motivation is felt; it is an internal search and constant energy that tells me there are big dreams and successful moments waiting for me. Many call it the sixth sense, I call it our inner voice.”
