Summary
I strive for external validation, so improvements in systems to achieve those accolades is what keeps me motivated and progressive. I enjoy being with a collective of equal attitudes and goals. Picture is of my sweet ole Nana, my little Greek Yiya, and myself! I’ve got twin girls on the way, and newly married, in that order!
