“The Washington DC area is a great place to live and work due to its diversity and educational opportunities. Alongside the numerous universities located here, there are numerous other opportunities to connect and learn from. Given the fact that our government is here, it creates a lot of transition and opportunities for new people to visit and live.”

In his professional life, he is excited about growing a coaching/therapeutic business that helps people in reaching their potential.

The book I would recommend to read would be “Ernest Shackleton South”. It is a book about a great hero of mine that overcomes numerous hardships while exploring the Antarctic. The book portrays a man who has a long standing goal and is focused not only on achieving his goal, but is also dedicated to maintaining the safety of the men he commands. It is a story of enduring numerous hardships, staying dedicated to his colleagues, and being able to cross hostile seas to save his men who are stranded on the Arctic ice shelf. The book focuses on hope, grit, dedication and determination when seeking a goal, and being able to be flexible when circumstances change . The book symbolizes the fact that people can achieve various goals if they stay focused, and determined! The story is a triumph over disappointment and “failure” yet, shows that triumph can come in unexpected ways..
