Maggie Briggs, 31

Maggie Briggs learned from an early age that there is no limit to one’s potential. Her mentor, Lori Ross, started as a bank teller at the First National Bank of Mount Dora at age 19 and steadily ascended the ranks to COO: the first woman to hold a C-suite role in the bank’s 100-year history. 

“My mom showed me through hard work, grit, integrity and all of those beautiful things that you can achieve whatever you dream and achieve your full potential,” Briggs says.
