She is credited with establishing the first woman-owned and targeted electronics company.[10]
Besides being a successful businesswoman, Bowling is also a vocal spokesperson and writer of female roles and strategies in the business industry.[11] She wrote an article which was featured in Forbes Magazine where she detailed the importance of female mentorship in the workplace by citing her life as a mother and during her early years working with other female mentors. She stated, "It’s crucial for women in the workplace to have role models. Mentoring helps women ideate about what they will become. For women to be more empowered in the workplace, it’s crucial to have structured mentorships where women can learn from each other."[11]
