Outside of work, Paleki enjoys travelling, singing, and mentoring young women. Her favourite quote is from Maya Angelou: \u00ab\u00a0A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretence and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n
