Raised in a single-parent household and faced with significant personal challenges, including the loss of my father to gun violence, I developed resilience and perseverance from an early age. My formative years were marked by frequent relocations and adjusting to new countries and cultures. These experiences sharpened my adaptability, critical thinking under pressure, and decision-making abilities. I also honed skills in initiative, tactfulness, and the ability to quickly understand tasks, situations, and people—skills that have been crucial for both personal survival and professional success.

I believe sharing specific books I enjoy may not be entirely appropriate, as I’d prefer not to have assumptions made based on my reading choices. However, for reference, I found 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson to be particularly engaging. While I don't align with all of his political views, I find his insights thought-provoking. I enjoy reading because it allows one to absorb and learn from the accumulated knowledge and experiences of others over time—often distilled into valuable lessons that can be gained simply by turning a page. To me, it’s one of the greatest gifts we have access to on this planet.
