Fun Fact

I worked three jobs during my Junior year of High School in order to buy myself my first car. In college, my team was selected out of 300k participants to pitch a start up company in front of thousands of diverse individuals/judges from all over the globe for a chance to win $1M in seed funding.

Passion

I am motivated by the less fortunate in the world and my autistic brother to be the best version of myself. I have a quote on my bathroom mirror that I read every day: "What did you do today to make the world a better place tomorrow?" This quote reminds me that I have the power to make a difference.
