How would you define your mission in life?

My ever-growing mission in life is to help people find their meaning in life as I continue to unfold my meaning through creative endeavors. Our actions and intentions have a ripple effect on others. 

Why do you think providing access to quality education is important?

Education is the root of how you decide and how your actions can affect others. As we grow older, we all continue learning. My educational journey made me the person who I am today. It made me hungry to learn more and in a manner which resonates to me, even up to this day. The opportunity to educate others is one that is too good to give up.

What would you consider to be the best learning experience of life?

You're never too late to learn something. We have so many available resources and multiple variations to cater to your style of learning. It's a matter of making the time for it and being patient with the process.

If you could tell your 10-year old self one thing, what would it be?

I would tell him to go for what he wants and be who he wants to be despite what people tell you.

What is the WHY that keeps you going?

We don't know when our time will be up. Make time with your loved ones. See others perspectives. Be kind to yourself. 

How do you think we can empower/uplift and strengthen each other during this time?

By being more compassionate and understanding with yourself. Everything starts with the self. Once you can find that understanding within yourself, it can be easier to see that others are going through different waves and that our experiences all have their share of struggles.

What is giving you hope during challenging times

Seeing how people adapt to the challenging times. It gives me hope to see that the struggle will only last for as long as you allow it to. Others need some help realizing that, helping them out never hurts.
