“Compassion and empathy are gifts my parents helped me cultivate through my formative and adolescent years. Through both formal and informal education opportunities, my passion to help others drove me to take part in diversity, equity, and social justice movements. As I continued my personal journey through higher education and helped others discover their life paths, I embraced my inherent leadership style—servant leadership. I enjoy building strong relationships while helping people achieve their goals and embrace their most powerful self. I look forward to leaning into your greatness with you!”
