Living with compassion and empathy, doing the right thing by people and being there for those in need

Individuality, the uniqueness that makes us all who we are. People do not fit in “boxes”

Challenging the status quo, being a rebel.  Using imagination to discover a better way, having the nimbleness to change direction, and the courage to accept and learn from failure

The power of positive energy, bringing passion and purpose to what I do, and having fun in the process.
