I believe that a successful business and brand is one that is consumer centric and empathizes with all. Having pursued psychology as my major, I find that empathy is a value I choose to consciously embody and practice in every facet of my life. I love to arrive at meaningful solutions for wicked problems through innovation and design. I am seeking out opportunities to expand my skills and learn while facilitating company growth.
