WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND TO A FUTURE LEADER?

Identify the values that matter most to you and build from there. Learn from your mistakes rather than being discouraged by them.

BEST PART ABOUT YOUR WORK?

Getting to share the stories of our community through a thread that brings so many people together—sports! The more we share, the more we can inspire each other—and the closer we can become.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR YOUNGER SELF?

Trust in yourself and your hard work. Give yourself grace and have fun along the way!

WHAT SONG DESCRIBES YOU?

All You Need is Love by The Beatles. No matter where life takes me, I always make sure to come back to what really matters: the people I care about and doing what I can to spread love where I am.

WHAT BOOK INSPIRED YOU?

Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. This book gave me an entirely new perspective on vulnerability and imperfection. Those two things are not signs of weakness—they’re the greatest form of strength we can show because putting ourselves in the arena where failure is an option is the best way to grow.
