Reminding myself that “There are two truths in life. We are all living. We are all dying”, and trying to do more of the former.

Interesting Fact

I’m the odd one out in a family of entrepreneurs! I grew up with family businesses (50s diner, bar and grills, bakery and cafes and most recently a higher-end burger joint). My past jobs/positions have included administrative assistant, accounting/billing, barista, cashier, server, busser, burger-flipper, and burger-assembler. Next, I will work on becoming a knowledgeable bartender. I also took a year off to earn a Master’s in Global Health, during which I spent six weeks mapping where injuries that presented to an ED in Tanzania occurred.
