About Me
I was raised in the quiet suburbs of Puerto Rico before embracing the vibrant atmosphere of New York City during my formative years. From an early age, I developed a keen interest in understanding human behavior and what motivates individuals to excel in different settings.
I consider myself fortunate to have merged my personal and professional passions. During my leisure time, I indulge in travel, engage in home improvement projects, cherish moments with loved ones, and making a positive impact by dedicating time to support communities in need.
