Personal Note
Biographies are incredibly awkward to write. I’m not a fan of making myself out to be Superman – yet you basically have to deck yourself up and act all conceited and important and make sure people know why you’re worth it. I’m very approachable and thrive on the opportunity to help others. My passion in life is helping you!
