About Me - More Than a Resume
A quick glimpse into who I am beyond the professional title

I’m a people-person through and through—someone who thrives in social settings, values real connection, and brings energy into every room. Outside of work, I’m probably out on a hiking trail, exploring new places, or staying active through sports and fitness. My time as a Division 1 athlete and full-time student taught me the value of discipline, time management, and teamwork. That experience built the foundation for how I show up today: motivated, focused, and always pushing myself to grow. Whether I’m collaborating with a team or meeting someone new, I lead with curiosity and positivity.
