Dorothy expressed happiness in achieving her record feat as she hopes to become an entrepreneur in future. “I know in the future I want to be an entrepreneur.”

“I want to be my own boss. I kind of want to be able to take everything that I’ve learned, all of my degrees, and group them into one thing. Because the way I am, I can’t stay on one project. I have to hop around to different things to make sure I stay passionate in everything equally,” she said.

She advises upcoming scholars to aim at their dreams and be dedicated to the journey. “To get where you want to be, you have to be dedicated,” she says.

“[I don’t want people to be] like, ‘Oh man, she’s so smart, I can never do that.’ That’s not what I want them to think when they read or hear or see my story. I want them to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s so goal-oriented. I need to be determined. I need to have tunnel vision to get to where I want to be. I need to be able to communicate my goals,’ and things like that,” she added.
