Dr. Fallon is in the process of publishing her first book titled "Gracefully Gritty" in which she will answer all of the questions she regularly receives from colleagues, students and mentees about the path to becoming a successful business leader. It's not easy to be a woman and a change agent, but Dr. Fallon is just that as she inspires entrepreneurs, leaders, and individuals with her passion and successes.
