1. What is the best piece of professional advice you have ever received?
The best piece of professional advice I have received is stay committed to doing your best work consistently, whether or not anyone is watching.
2. What is your greatest professional/academic accomplishment thus far?
One of my most significant professional accomplishments to date has been the establishment of my boat detailing company. I partnered with local marinas and boating clubs to conduct my business. I hired and trained a team to assist me with the operations. Building and leading the company was a great experience and very fulfilling.
3. If you could share some advice with your younger self, what would it be?
If I could share some advice with my younger self, it would be to take risks. Embrace failures and use them as opportunities to grow and develop. Strive for your goals and never be afraid of the outcomes.
4. What is at the top of your bucket list?
A goal of mine is to get a pilot’s license. Last year I participated in a demo flight which sparked my interest in aerospace. Soaring through the sky at 10,000 feet and being the one in control of the aircraft felt surreal.
5. If you could try something knowing you would not fail, what would it be?
I would want to travel through a black hole. I have read many theories that black holes could potentially allow time travel into the future and or the past. Also, some black holes could be linked to different regions of the universe. If I were to travel through a black hole, I could potentially unlock one of sciences biggest mysteries.
