Where I'm Finding Inspiration
Nature is a great source of inspiration for me, and individuals who, despite facing significant challenges, continue to hold onto hope and demonstrate leadership. Their resilience and determination serve as powerful reminders of the strength that lies within perseverance and love.
What I Do For Fun, Rest, and Renewal
I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether walking in a park or just being close to nature. It helps me feel connected and grounded. I also watch TV, read, and practice mindfulness. Solitude is my thing, but I am always ready to share quality time with loved ones.
Organizations I've Worked With
I have worked with educational institutions in the US, such as Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, Tremont Temple Baptist Church, and Boston Public Schools.
