What is a book or podcast you love?

"So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport.

A book that taught me how important it is to work smarter, and to use your career capital to get you farther in your career.

Tell us about a mentor or teacher who changed your life?

A big shout out to my High School teacher Ms. Sotomayor. When no one else believed in me, you were there to kick me in the butt and get me to go to college. Without you, I don't know where I'd be in life.

Which of the Curious Cardinal values are you most passionate about?

Lifelong learning.

Learning doesn't end after K-12 / College, and it only fuels you for the rest of your life. Learn something new every day.

What impact would you like Curious Cardinals to have?

I want to help mentors be the best they can, so they can inspire the next generation of learners and doers in our world.
