Summary

I am an open-minded individual with inclinations in Global affairs, Philosophy, French Culture and Public Speaking. My interests and abilities are primarily expressed in my Essay Writing and are an avid reflection of my dispositions as an holistic individual. Having served as a leader in so many spaces, one of the aspects that is inseparable with me is Servant Leadership. I delight in offering myself wholly in the service of others for it is through service that we empower and advance one another. At the core of my being is the Philosophy of Kaizen because it inspires me to continuously improve in all the arenas of my life. In essence, always striving to be better than I was yesterday.
