I believe education reform and financial empowerment are the key to a more peaceful and equitable world
I look for opportunities to build new tables for those that have not been given a seat yet
I believe in radical truth & transparency in work and at home
I aim to find lessons in the toughest of situations
I don’t settle for “this is the way we’ve always done it”
My closest colleagues are those that I can laugh with
I watched my immigrant parents learn how to use their scrappy, entrepreneurial mindset to make the best life they could for me, I carry that mindset in my work everyday
I’m obsessed with learning new things (facts about NYC, business philosophies, language etymology, muscle strength, etc)
My ego is left at the door, but my authenticity is worn on my sleeve
I sweat the details and approach every problem by creating roadmaps for long term strategy
I believe we are more connected than divided
I take deep pride in my friends, colleagues and mentors.
As such, one of my core values is celebrating & supporting inspiring visionaries in my life in all ways I know how.
I frequently refresh some of those visionaries in my life here. Let me know if you’d like to be connected to any of them!
