My background is fairly diverse; having grown up in 6 different countries in several continents, I have experienced and embraced a wide array of cultures and people. I have grown to thrive in unfamiliarity. I went to the University of South Florida, where I studied Finance and Chinese. Throughout the last few years, through the culmination of work experience, military service, academia, and my own research, I've developed a keen interest in strategy. Playing a role in the creation, development, and implementation of entirely new initiatives incites a profound sense of accomplishment. I'm also learning to play guitar.
