I believe in the power of human excellence and how supporting each other helps makes us successful, both individually and collectively. I use this concept to connect the dots of the big picture in my life’s journey, while serving in various leadership roles in Toastmasters.
I have worked as a professional architectural leader and a founder of an advocacy platform for leadership in Science, Technology Engineering and Math (STEM). I continually strive to develop as a person and therefore earned a doctoral degree based on my research in mentoring. I am also a published author.
I understand that it is an honor and privilege to serve as a leader. Serving with excellence requires us to enhance our skills in areas of emotional intelligence, empathy and relatability. I have learned that these are the key components of a servant leader.
