Summary

As courageous as I am curious. As passionate as I am diligent. As much of an extrovert as I am an introvert. My extensive academic and extra-curricular journey has equipped me with skills that I aim to leverage in order to make a positive impact in the workplace and those around me. My personal values and work ethic are firmly rooted in the notion of community - to build, to learn, and to connect. This has been instilled in me through my many experiences as both a leader and a team player. Fiercely invested in the spheres of diplomacy, public relations, culture, and its related fields, I seek to exude this passion as best as I possibly can. I remain unafraid to venture off the beaten path and explore unchartered territories, as every experience is a valuable one to me. Simply put - I am adaptable, detail-oriented, and ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work. The hunger to learn, to guide and be guided, is something that has not changed within me, and will never change.
