Favorite Quote and Why: “I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” — Michael Jordan. This is my favorite quote because life is not easy or fair, we fail, we hit roadblocks, and how you respond to those determines your future. Failure helps you achieve success based on your response.

Definition of a Successful Leader: A successful leader wants everyone around them to win and succeed more than themselves. Put others first!

Advice to 18-Year-Old Self: Expand outside your comfort circle, go to events alone, meet someone new everyday!
