Advice to younger self: “You do not need to have everything figured out to get started or to be successful. The moments that challenge you most will ultimately shape your resilience, work ethic and character. Keep betting on yourself, find a good mentor, never stop learning, and never underestimate the power of relationships, authenticity, and determination.”
Surprising fact: “I love music and have played multiple instruments, starting with guitar when I was 5 years old. I’ve also played drums, saxophone and taught myself piano. While attending the University of Arizona, I had gigs playing guitar and singing in bars and restaurants. After college, I even wrote and produced an original song.”
