words that describe me best Well, for now, I'm proud to say my life is my work. I live for YSN and for helping young people around the world discover their passions and realize their own definitions of success. I also really do love working with companies and organizations that want to support this next great generation of talented young people. So, I guess you could call me a relentless, obsessive, passionate workaholic on a huge mission that is now in its 15th year. Crazy, I know. There went my twenties like a flash! But I wouldn't trade this life for anyone else's. It's an absolute privilege to get the chance to work with people like the ones you find on YSN every day. And if I can help make a difference in their lives...in your life...what more could I ask for in mine? (Okay, maybe a little more sleep. :))

my definition of success is Making an impact on the world - regardless of how local or globally you set your sights. Realizing your own potential, and helping others fulfill theirs. Being a good person. Living with integrity. Being someone not only your family, friends and colleagues, but most importantly you, can be proud of. Not letting anyone else define for you how much you're truly capable of.

I speak the following languages English, y poquito Espanol, and scraps of a few others
