What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
At the heart of my work and personal life is the unwavering commitment to staying authentic to my core values—empathy, integrity, and purposeful action. Authenticity means showing up as my true self, whether I’m building platforms like Lifemap HQ to empower people’s dreams, creating "Amazingly Free Items" to serve over 10,000 users, or writing If Chickens Ruled the World to spark conversations about world hunger. Empathy drives me to listen deeply to others’ needs and craft solutions that uplift communities, while integrity ensures I stay true to my mission, even when the path is tough or the cost is high. Purposeful action ties it all together, pushing me to be a wayfinder—never settling for comfort but always striving to innovate and make a tangible difference. These values aren’t just ideals; they’re the compass that guides every decision, from leading with compassion in nonprofit work to weaving social impact into my stories. By staying authentic to these principles, I aim to create a legacy of meaningful change that resonates with others and inspires them to live boldly and true to their own values.
