Passions: reading, writing, eating, dreaming, learning, living, and loving.
What exactly do you do: I'm an attorney with a deep-seated love and appreciation for creative minds. Part admiration, part envy – I'm committed to enabling creative professionals, artists, and entrepreneurs, to realize their full potential.
Why you LOVE what you do: People always come to me for information. Whether its law-related or not, my friends and my friends-friends think of me as the person to go to for answers or guidance. And I'm really grateful for that role because it has allowed me to help people make their visions come to fruition.
Words you live by: "Find a way or make one" – my high school's motto; "Everything is alright in the end. If its not alright, its not the end;" "Say what you mean and mean what you say because the people who matter don't mind and the people who mind don't matter"
What inspires you the most: AUTHENTICITY. The bravest and most inspiring people I know are the ones who have remained faithful to who they are despite the harshest criticisms. I truly believe that authenticity is the cure for ignorance and hypocrisy: the more we are unapologetically ourselves, the more we encourage others to seek out their owns truths.
