About me: I love helping students find their passion and make connections to create meaningful life-work. Away from work, I enjoy skiing and sailing with my family.
My definition of success: "Success is moving forward toward your goal and finding happiness. Spending meaningful time with family and friends. When we use our gifts and talents to serve others, we have achieved success!"
