Mentoring, travelling, learning

  • I thoroughly enjoy advising friends, family, colleagues, and students about life, education, emotions, and personal pursuits. Throughout my journey, I got involved in clubs that foster mentorship for at-risk youths, where we engage in discussions and suggestions to promote the possibility of a better future. I usually look forward to weekly meetings with student leaders within our program to help talk about their plans and guide them whenever possible.
  • Traveling opens my mind to different cultures, allowing me to understand behavioral responses within new environments and among other groups of people. Traveling allows me to see the world through different lenses and adjust to new ways of life in my professional and personal endeavors.
  • I refer to myself as a student for life; engaging in conversations with my more knowledgeable others ignites an eagerness to gain knowledge and wisdom through discussions. I use this constant flow of knowledge to guide my journey.
