Choosing to be proactive about my life and my career over the years has led to a multitude of opportunities. In what has seemed like the blink of an eye, I have been able to travel to new places, earn multiple licenses and accreditations, and apply my degrees in Economics and Psychology to support inspirational leaders at some of the country's most prestigious companies.
Looking back, I have had many mentors who have helped shape me into the person I am today. While I have my father to thank for my morals and worldview, the man I’d most like to credit for developing my work ethic is Dino Ferraro. Following Dino's example while working in his restaurants gave me an understanding of both the macro and the minutiae of business, and how important it is to respect both if you want to foster lasting success.
Looking forward, I am as motivated as ever to build my brand and reinforce my reputation as a kind-hearted, hard-working representative for good.
I've been on the hunt for the feeling of adventure ever since I realized I feel most energized and rejuvenated whenever I move to a new place, try a new activity, or eat new foods. When I need a thrill, I like to surf, snowboard, or ski. When I need to chill, I tend to go camping, rollerblade, or practice the piano.
I'm incredibly grateful for all the experiences I've had, from surfing deep in Mexico to skiing all around Lake Tahoe, and from dancing through the night at festivals to the same but in a friend's living room. My most recent adventure involved riding at six new ski resorts during ten days of living the van life in Utah with three of my best friends.
