Summary

Working hard has always been the standard; growing up, my father always said, "Whatever you do, do it right." I pride myself not on being the best, because there will always be better, but on always trying my best. And I make sure to do it with a smile on my face because I know the privilege it is to have opportunities. Working with people truly is a passion of mine, and I hope to, in some way, be able to bring a smile to their faces.
