Impact for the betterment of a collective.

Those that provided corrective experiences. Mentors, advocates, and supportive colleagues are important and necessary for success. The most impactful people in my life are those that not just mentor and coach me but also normalize my worth, appreciate my strengths, and recognize that success and opportunity come in unexpected ways.
