In high school I played many sports. I excelled at lacrosse and was picked for the All-State team three times. I received a scholarship to play lacrosse in college in San Francisco. I thought I was headed to law school. I was functioning, but something was missing.

I started searching. This is what I learned along the way.

I am empathetic. I am strong. I am sensitive. I stand up for what is right. I love sports. I love art. I am a poet. I am analytical. I am an entrepreneur. I get along with anyone. I believe in people. I believe in myself.

I found myself.I found that I really love the excitement, anxiety, highs, and lows of growing a business. Recently, I started coaching high school students to play lacrosse, and I found that I love to mentor.

I have gone through many transitions in my life, and each one has taught me something unique. I am constantly learning and realize that I will change. Going forward, I will never compromise my values, and I will always strive to be myself wherever I may be.
