Here are 10 quick things to give you insight into who I really am:

  • I love team leadership roles, equally as much as I love supporting leadership roles.
  • In my personal life, family members and friends, send me important documents, emails, and presentations to proofread, edit, review, or enhance creatively.
  • My favorite subjects are English, Algebra, Marketing, and Psychology/Sociology.
  • My significant other says his favorite thing about me is my adaptability.
  • I'm known as the event planner and host among my friends.
    Pre-pandemic, I hosted biweekly meetups for foodies and monthly game nights.
  • I have great admiration for entrepreneurs/entrepreneurship because my dad owns several businesses and real estate properties in multiple countries and I have seen firsthand, how much work it takes.
  • After a brief conversation, strangers frequently tell me that I should be in real estate or on tv.
  • Four things previous managers have told me are:
    "You have a great personality / You're likable."
    "You have such a poker face / I never know what you're thinking."
    "You're overqualified for this job."
    "You're the only (female) employee I've ever had that hasn't cried."
  • I used to be a freelance social media manager.
  • I love to travel and have hopes of visiting almost every continent, as well as every state in the U.S.
