What was your favorite subject in school?
Organic Chemistry - I loved learning hands on and developing the visual understanding of what takes place on a molecular level.
What aspect of working at TransACT do you enjoy the most?
Working with educators on a country wide level, I have the opportunity to reach out and network with individual school districts; learn about the education system and how intricate the processes are, and develop an understanding as to what challenges each districts faces.
When do you feel successful in life?
"Success" is a pretty hard term to define; however, I feel most successful when my life is balanced and I have a clear vision and purpose for doing things.
Outside of work, what do you enjoy?
Outside of work I spend as much quality time with my family and friends as possible. I enjoy spending time on the water (sailing, kayaking, swimming, rafting). I also volunteer at the Seattle Animal Shelter, 5th Avenue Theater and Seattle Art Museum.
Whom do you admire most?
I admire my brother. He's shown me that unwavering commitment, action, and dedication can allow you achieve any goal you want.

I would love to work as an event coordinator aboard private charter boats. Organizing and coordinating charity events, cruises, weddings, corporate functions, private parties and other special events throughout the year.
