Fun Fact: I didn’t leave the country until I was 18 and have since made up for lost time by visiting 15 countries, solo-backpacking through Europe for 30 days, and working at two Olympic Games.
Hobbies: Listening to podcasts, playing pickleball with my dad, binge-watching great TV shows, hunting for new sweet treats, and hiking wherever there’s a good view (or a good snack at the top).
If you could be the CEO/Leader of any company for a day, which would you choose?
I’d pick AJ Maestas, our Founder at Navigate. If you’ve ever met AJ, you know he’s one of the most unique people you’ll ever come across—in the best way possible. He’s honest, insanely hardworking, and hands-down the best networker I’ve ever seen. Living in his shoes for a day would be equal parts whirlwind and masterclass. I’d love to take in how he builds and maintains relationships, keeps a million big-picture ideas organized, and still somehow finds time to hike a mountain before most people have gotten out of bed. Honestly, I think a day as AJ could teach me more than any classroom, book, or seminar ever could.
