What do you do to unwind? My favorite way to unwind and truly disconnect from the busyness of everyday life is by playing tennis. It’ s more than just a hobby for me, it’ s something that has been a part of who I am for years. Having played tennis in college, the game holds a special place in my heart.
Where would we find your books... in an app or on a shelf? I keep my books both on my shelf and in an app. Honestly it just depends on my mood and what is most convenient at the time. I love having physical books because there is something special about seeing them lined up on my shelf. It feels personal and comforting.
What is your favorite movie? One of my all-time favorite movies is“ The Patriot”. There is just something about it that pulls me in every single time I watch it. I love the mix of powerful storytelling, raw emotion, and intense action. It highlights bravery, sacrifice, and the deep love for country.

What is your motto?“ Make every day a great day.” I believe having a great day is a choice, and I try to live that out daily through positivity, gratitude, and perspective. I also believe we’ re on this planet to serve others and to love your neighbor as yourself, leading with kindness in every interaction.
I owe it all to.... I credit my parents and siblings for being my biggest supporters throughout my life. Their encouragement in academics, athletics, and my career has played a major role in shaping my discipline, resilience, and passion for growth.
Fun fact about you: A fun fact about me is that I love to snow ski and snowboard. You can usually find me on the slopes as much as possible during the winter months.
