What is the best advice you’ve ever received?

Believe in yourself.

What is your favorite book?

No favorite. Reading The Eventual Millionaire by Jaime Tardy

What is your secret weapon? An app, a tool, a organization method, anything?! (Can be a personal or professional life tool)

My secret weapon that has helped me tremendously in life is the positive mindset that I have had since I was a young child. I make the most of potentially bad situations trying to learn from the experience and see the positive. I've been told on many occasions throughout my life that I can be presented with the the worst situation and somehow find the light and bring out the positive. I and use this skill intensely in my coaching sessions.

What is your most recent WIN? How are you slaying in your career or business?

When my clients are empowered in my sessions and I help them achieve their greatest potential, then that my friend is a win! Hearing their reviews on how I helped them achieve their success is the greatest achievement for me. I truly enjoy helping others find clarity and the vision to be the greatest version of themselves.

What advice would you give to your younger self?

Trust your instincts. Take a leap of faith in yourself. You've got nothing to lose but everything to gain. If you fail, you'll become smarter, If you succeed, you'll gain even more self-confidence and the emotional and financial rewards. You'll never know the limit of how much you can achieve until you take a leap of faith in yourself and try. Keep your focus right. Invest in yourself. Accelerate your learning curve. See life as a progressive journey. And you'll most certainly always achieve anything you set your mind to. We are all here for a short time and need to make the best of every day.

How do you enjoy your free time?

During my spare time, I enjoy running, yoga, biking and volunteering my time helping others in need find clarity and focus to achieve their overall missions in life. I am a highly motivated, hardworking, dedicated, and a reliable individual with a personable but professional demeanor and seek to make an impact in our world.
