BIO

I am natural collaborator and three-dimensional thinker, with a knack for brainstorming and thinking logistically. I enjoy studying into why things are the way they are, especially in the areas of philosophies that a will guide a person or a company to achieve success without compromising ethics.

It seems everywhere I look I see how the ideologies that a person is exposed to can impact the way they look at life and success, and impacts small and big decisions every day. I’m especially interested in philosophies that lead people to be successful in business while still acting ethically.
