My vision is to have a world where students have access to a network of individuals who can aid them to achieve their personal and professional goals. I believe students struggle to access practical sources of advice.
So, I've recently co-founded an online mentorship platform that connects students seeking career and academic-related advice with successful recent professionals and graduate students who can provide it. The difference I hope to make is to one day provide the largest online mentorship platform in the world, where students from other countries can have a place to connect with others in different countries and get the guidance and advice that they need. Accomplishing this vision is what drives me.

My personal vision is to continue to do what I've been doing since at least age 10 (a long time ago). That's provide one-on-one support, training, or an ear to listen, to people who are somehow stuck, especially those w/o family support. I've spent a lifetime doing this. It's so fulfilling in so many ways. And now I get paid to do it, too! How great is that!!!
