how i am where i am now

my outlook

family influence

my family has played a pivotal role in shaping who i am today. from an early age, they encouraged my independence and instilled in me the values of determination and self-awareness. their support has been a constant source of strength as i’ve pursued my goals with the intention of leading a purposeful and successful life.

my relationships

my friends are one of the most important aspects of my life, and i feel incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such inspiring and supportive people. they help shape my outlook, offering valuable advice and perspective in all areas of life. i truly understand the importance of nurturing strong relationships, and i deeply value the impact each person has had on my journey.

i’ve always been driven by a deep desire to reach for the best, which pushes me to step outside my comfort zone and embrace new challenges. when i feel that i’ve accomplished what I set out to do, I believe it’s time to take another step forward. this mindset has been a guiding force throughout my life, whether it was leaving my kansas city high school to attend southern methodist university, an out-of-state school, or making the bold move from dallas to new york without a direct path. i’m committed to pursuing opportunities and constantly pushing myself to grow, ensuring the best alternatives to come. i’ve learned to accept change and to find comfort in the discomfort.
