As a Ford Scholar, parent, and full-time student who has overcome significant adversity, I bring a unique blend of lived experience and disciplined professionalism. I thrive under pressure, lead by example, and don\u2019t shy away from hard work\u2014whether that\u2019s coordinating teams in mental health settings or managing fishing expeditions for my startup. I\u2019ve consistently turned challenges into strengths. I\u2019m analytical but grounded, with a strong ethical compass and a passion for helping others.
