I am a(n):

Aspiring entrepreneur

If you're an entrepreneur or corporate innovator, why?

I want to change the world.

My favorite startups:

Google, Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, Instagram, LinkedIn, Amazon, Square, Zillow, RedFin, DocuSign, Tableau, Limeade, Porch.

What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?

The most rewarding thing is never dreaming too big; your dreams know no boundaries.

The most frustrating thing is staying strong, focused and inspired despite lack of support and struggling with patience.

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs/innovators make?

Knowing when enough is enough. We often times are our own biggest critic and it's okay to stand back and acknowledge our successes.

What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?

In my short 23 years of living I have learned the following lessons:

1. Seize opportunities - Never shy away from a new opportunity no matter how far fetched or scary it may be. You never know what can come of that relationship or venture.

2. Keep learning - No matter what age, you can never stop learning. Finding a mentor and someone who has something you want is a great way to bounce ideas off of. Even a genius with the best ideas needs someone to give them feedback.

3. Passion leads to success - It has been said before, and I will reiterate it: if you follow your passion, what makes you happy and what makes you feel alive, you will always come out winning. The glow and ora about you will not only bring around others who want to know what it is that you're doing, it will inspire them to discover their own passions too.

Full bio

I am an ambitious, driven and passionate grad from Central Washington University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics while simultaneously completing the Pre-Physical Therapy Program. My work and life experience has given me much knowledge and prepared me for a vast array of different settings. I love people, traveling and working hard at whatever it is that I throw myself into. Along with my education, I hold philanthropy high on my priority list. My family has partnered with well-known organizations and local non-profits and travel to the Philippines every year to donate supplies and make a difference. I hope to expand my network around the Greater Seattle Area, across the US and eventually create business ventures across seas.

As a self-described perfectionist and entrepreneur, my core values include challenge and dedication, as well as passion and service.
