An academician and a "Tourism & Hospitality" graduate with a knack for telling stories, a flair for detail, and a hint of humor. In a nutshell, my passion for creativity and constant learning is accompanied with the desire to disseminate my knowledge with others. Passion and diligence are two traits that I believe most reflect me as an individual. It is my belief that this is the key to being successful in any endeavor that one set’s their mind to. In leisure, I love petting my cat, working my way through every recipe in the cookbook, and indulging my love for seeing new places. I love to generate new ideas and enjoy embracing the lessons learned from failure, stand up and continue to grow.
