Personal Philosophy:
Be yourself and find your true passion. In today's society we are often influenced to conform. Making it scary to be unique and follow our dreams. However, it is when we find our true passion in life and we tap into that drive that we really become successful. Follow your heart and love what you do and who you are. As Stephen Covey says “It comes from within”.
