To family, I'm the daughter or sister making her way through uncharted territory as the first in my family to graduate college then complete a masters program. I have lived in the US, UK, and the UAE.

To friends, I'm the loyal, caring, and dependable person who answers the phone in the middle of the night, always knocks before I turn the knob, and goes straight to the fridge once the door is opened.

To me, I'm a child of God moving on blind faith. I don't have it all figured out and I don't pretend to be what I am not. I am enjoying the journey and excited about my destination.

Three mantras I live by:

1. FIND YOUR DREAM. THEN, RISK EVERYTHING TO GET IT -Anonymous

2. BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND -Sean Covey

3. DO TODAY WHAT OTHERS DON'T WANT TO DO SO TOMORROW, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO WHAT OTHERS CAN'T - Jerry Rice
