About Me

From the small town of Assumption, Illinois to the big city of Seoul, South Korea, I have carried with me a sense of purpose directed toward empowering those around me. I am a business professional, international traveler, and kidney donor, and I am excited to have the opportunity to share my experiences with you.

Business Philosophy

I am passionate about the importance of teamwork, communication, and optimism toward a changing future. We live in a time where effective change management is crucial for businesses to thrive in today's globalized environment. I believe strong leadership and innovation around education and growth are integral components of a successful future.
