| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | One of my most memorable childhood experiences was building a treehouse with my siblings in our backyard. It wasn’t anything fancy—just a few planks of wood, a rope ladder, and a lot of imagination—but it became our secret hideaway for years. That experience taught me the joy of collaboration, creativity, and the magic of turning simple things into something unforgettable. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify closest with my youngest brother. We have a lot of the same interests and values, like sports, family, and education. We also feel like we always have each others back no matter what. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I deeply admire empathy, integrity, and curiosity in a person. Empathy allows someone to connect with others on a meaningful level, while integrity ensures they act with honesty and consistency. Curiosity keeps life interesting, and it shows a willingness to learn, grow, and explore beyond the surface. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | One of the funniest things that ever happened to me was accidentally joining a Zoom meeting for a company I didn’t work for. I thought it was a webinar I signed up for, but it turned out to be a team check-in, and I introduced myself like I belonged there. The reactions were priceless, and we all ended up laughing about it. Some of them even stayed in touch afterward! |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If time and money weren’t an issue, I’d travel to New Zealand to explore its breathtaking landscapes and rich indigenous culture. The mix of mountains, beaches, and adventure sports makes it a dream destination. I’d also love to spend time learning from the Maori community and experiencing their traditions firsthand. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | If I ever have children, I’d want to pass on a deep sense of curiosity and kindness. I believe those two traits can open doors to lifelong learning and meaningful relationships. I’d also hope to instill a love for storytelling, as it’s a powerful way to understand the world and connect with others. |
