⚡ Fun fact:
"Not just 'happy' - it's life-of-the-party 'happy'." — Former coworker on the English translation of my last name
💖 If you're reading this, I hope you're living your best life.
I love answering questions almost as much as I love asking them. I thrive in places where research, innovation, and creativity are all common practices. 💡⚡
Despite being an introvert, I love people and hearing their stories. In a way, I get to experience life vicariously through them and empathize with what they’re going through. Because of this, I want to see them happier and live more fulfilling lives. 😊🍰
My passion for education has brought me to various experiences revolving around outreach, mentoring, and leadership. Coming from an underprivileged background, I take any opportunity to bring as many people as I can up with me. I believe there is room for everyone at the top. 🚵🏾♂️🌠
