What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my genuine love for helping people and making a positive impact through my work.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both my work and personal life are compassion, curiosity, and balance. Becoming a mom to my 6-month-old daughter has strengthened my commitment to being present and intentional, while my love for traveling, exploring new cultures—like my favorite trips to Italy, Thailand, and Mexico City—and reading (especially the Millennium Trilogy) continually inspires me to stay open-minded and always learning. My next adventure to Greece reflects my belief in growth, joy, and experiencing life fully.
