If you could have coined a single phrase of wisdom, what would it be?
You can be anything you want to be, regardless of your past and present.
What is the best moment of your career?
It was in 2016 when I had my entire team gathered for a training meeting and we decided to stop to reflect on all that we had accomplished in the past few years. During that meeting we really looked at how much we had grown and all the hard work we have dedicated to be the best that we can be.

I wanted to be a doctor to help the sick and injured.
What do you wish you would have learned at the beginning of your career?
I am grateful for everything I have learned but to remember that timing is everything.
