I love rising to challenges that are bigger than me.
The late, great Steve Jobs once said, "I want to put a ding in the universe."
I couldn’t agree more. I’m a bold dreamer, and I’ve always vowed to leave this world better than I found it. Ultimately, that’s what led me to become a designer!

I value reliable and trustworthy relationships.
I take my commitments very seriously and can always be counted on to see things through.
The idea of letting down someone I care about troubles me greatly. As a result, I often find it difficult to rebuild trust when others break theirs.

My Myers-Briggs personality type is ENFJ.
As an ENFJ, I excel at leading by example. I believe in addressing disputes with receptiveness and care, and I'm always searching for common ground.
I'm highly empathetic and willing to take on the hardships of others. However, this sometimes leaves me feeling drained. I'm learning to recognize my limits!

I'm the oldest of four boys (my poor mother).
My parents are deeply altruistic people. From a young age, they taught us the importance of advocating for those who cannot do so for themselves.
I believe this shared value is what makes us a strong and unbreakable family. I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of it.
