What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The most important values to me in both my work and personal life center around balance, integrity, and dedication. In my professional work with The True Crime Workshop and Body Language Tactics at Master Carey’s Tiger Martial Arts, I strive to approach every challenge with focus and discipline, especially as I pursue my interest in major crimes. I also recognize the importance of self-care—understanding that I can’t pour from an empty cup—so I make time to nurture my own well-being.
Outside of work, my family is my top priority. My children inspire me daily, and I am actively involved in their lives, supporting their passions in martial arts and basketball. These experiences ground me and continually remind me of the importance of commitment, perseverance, and leading by example.
