Rachael Howourth turned her biggest challenge into her greatest strength.

&lt;p&gt;My motto in life and work is 'Meet people, make friends, and help them.'&amp;nbsp;Getting to know people is the best way of finding out what makes them tick in terms of goals, ambitions, dreams, interests and life in general.

When friends have a problem, I love to help them fix it.&lt;/p&gt;
