CURRENT MISSION

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

ABOUT ME

Philosophical, friendly, logical, compassionate, and driven are just some of the key traits I hear from my closest friends and family. I enjoy the art of education through formal as well as informal means. I perceive each day as an opportunity to improve myself and my surroundings from the life lessons I have collected thus far. Each day, I remind myself to stay in the present moment and know in my heart that happiness is a choice. My hobbies include deep conversations about life, yoga, socializing, reading non-fiction and motivation books, cooking, and obtaining new experiences in life.

PHILOSOPHY

If not now, when??

"Get comfortable with being uncomfortable" - Jillian Michaels

"The Universe always strikes you at your weakest point, because that's what most needs strengthening" - Joseph Campbell

I take comfort in having options in every single moment - me

Smile, it's free!

You will never find happiness in the event itself but rather how you react to everything!
