The last show I binge watched
Night Agent (in one day)
My superpower
I am a builder and connector of people.
The next destination on my travel bucket list
Dubai, Greece, Japan, Australia
What keeps me up at night
Figuring out how to fulfill my purpose better (when to start what initiative, where the funds will come from, etc.)
The best way to end a long day
A nice, less-than-healthy dinner. With dessert—no exceptions!
