Fun Fact

Because my brother enjoyed Pixar movies as a child, I can draw any Pixar (and most Disney) characters with ease! My nickname is Pi, and coincidentally I was born at 3:14 am -- Pi time!

Passion

What motivates me is that anyone has the ability to bring out the best in someone, and there are multiple ways anyone can truly help to unlock someone else's potential. I try to work in different areas as a means to learn how to most effectively help others in any situation I am in!
