Biography

"What would you do if you didn’t fear failure?"

Theorem M.R.1 - Success is found everywhere that hard work and good intentions are found. You can never fail when all you ask of yourself is to try your best and take the process as the reward.
 
Theorem M.R.2 - A closed door is not a dead end - it's redirection to something greater. We can’t always see where life will take us, and that’s the thrill of it.

Theorem M.R.3 - “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage” (Anais Nin). Your potential is only as limited as you believe it to be.

Taken together, these three principles have been great companions for me these past few years. Trying to find a single path and sticking to it was never my strength. I spent so many years defining tight goals and was terrified of failure. And naturally, it was the colossal [rhymes with grass] whooping that first-year presented that forced me to redefine the way I approach life. In just the past 3 years, I have been a teaching assistant, a web developer, a graphic designer, a financial manager, a published writer and editor, a research assistant, a professional development coach, a video editor, and a project manager, to name a few roles. Above all, I’m just someone who loves learning from others and helping others find fulfillment.
