What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

Part of being entrepreneurial is having the desire to look at a complex problem and attempt to fix it. Through a combination of creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, and a curious mind, an entrepreneur is capable of creating "the next great company or product", that has the potential of solving world problems and more. These skills and atrributes, are at the core of who I am, what decicions I make, and how I address every day problems. For example, I enjoy brainstorming creative solutions to limited storage space. By no means is this a robust example of entrepreneurial insight, but it reflects my use of those skills and attributes.

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

I am of the thought that like other human traits, empathy is a part of who we are as beings capable of feeling. It looks beyond the self, prioritizing a deeper understanding of others' feelings to the point that bonds can be made across all identities. This trait can be developed or not through our experiences, and becaue of this, I believe that modeling empathy for others, especially the young, is crucial for having a united society. Empathy was both a learned and modeled trait growing up, and as I got older, and began working with kids, I realized it's importance that much more. It helped me make connections to my students, especially to those who had a more difficult time socializing with others. It has also helped me make sense of my upbringing, which was difficult and sad at times, particularly the early years of my childhood.
