“To not mention my parents as inspirations for my success would be a disservice to them and everything they’ve encouraged me to do. Growing up, I constantly saw the strong work ethic and ambition they displayed, not only through their careers but in everyday life. Further inspiration rises from the possibilities of the future: attaining my goals, being successful for not only myself, but those around me, and being a role model for my sister drives me forward every day.”
