Beyond Work

I’m a lover of new experiences and don’t confine myself to a single niche. Curiosity drives me- whether it’s exploring new cultures, taking on challenges, or diving into unfamiliar places. My time living in New York City fueled my love for ambition, creativity, and the hustle that comes with chasing big goals. I moved there on my own, guided by grit and a genuine thirst for life. And I’m now working toward making my return, ready to bring that same energy into everything I do.

What energizes me?

Anything that keeps me learning and creating. I love exploring new ideas, meeting people from different backgrounds, and finding inspiration through experiences- whether it’s film photography during my travels, long walks with my dog, or social events that bring people together.

The Foundation of My Work Ethic

Surrounded from a young age by people who built businesses out of determination for more in their lives, I grew up inspired to take risks and create something of my own.

For the past five years, I’ve been a co-operations partner in my family’s small local business- overseeing operations, hiring, and direct customer marketing. Taking on responsibility has always come naturally to me; I genuinely enjoy connecting with people, improving systems, and turning challenges into opportunities.
