Definition of success? The true measure of success lies in the depth of my relationships, the influence of my actions, and my dedication to seeking meaningful experiences. It’s embracing risks and pushing myself to new limits to effectively achieve what I passionately believe in.

Traits you think great leaders possess? Great leaders are teachers, they are visionaries, hold themselves accountable, and are resilient. Great leaders know the importance of listening. They care about the people they serve. They pay attention to every detail of their responsibility to whatever degree this encompasses. Great leaders inspire others, act with integrity, and offer guidance with grace.

Habit you’ve adopted that has had a significant positive change on your daily routine? Making a conscious decision to be happy every day upon waking up has been an impactful choice and, as a result, has positively changed my daily routine and my life. By envisioning a happy day and praying for all good things to continue happening for everyone in my life, I focus on a joyful and harmonious day and experience it daily. Taking charge of my mindset has been the most transformative shift. Realizing the power to create my dream life lies within me has been crucial to my growth and success. Knowing I have everything I need right now makes my trajectory limitless.
