My Achilles Heel is…

My Achilles heel would definitely be my family. They live in another country, so I may just be stressed about not often knowing their well-being.

To alleviate this, I may just try and talk about some fond memories I have with them and look forward to my next visit.

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

become quiet, easily agitated, and stiff. I try not to show emotion when I'm stressed but it seems my body language betrays me.

At that point, I may just need to be alone, take a break outside, and breathe.

How I relax

I really enjoy going to the beach and swimming for hours under the hot sun with the cool water hitting my skin. I find it very relaxing and rejuvenating, I cannot say the same for the scorching sand though.

I also enjoy a good trip to Colorado and join a team for some white-water rafting. As you can tell, I love being in the water. Whether it be on a boat in the middle of a lake in Minnesota, or the rivers of Colorado, as long as I'm outside having fun, I find the nap afterward very relaxing. Haha!

I like to get feedback when its given…

in the moment1:1with contextwith examplesquarterly

I'd like to know if I am doing something wrong, of course. We don't want a mistake to happen twice, so I would appreciate it if you could notify me if I am doing something wrong in the moment or perhaps pull me aside and explain to me what I did. I would also like to know if I am doing something well as well!

My superpowers

Collaborates effectively with teammatesStays composed throughout conflict or difficult situationsInvests and is interested in personal and professional growthMakes decisions promptly, even with uncertaintyMentors and develops teammates for their growth

As someone who participated in Marching Band and Drumline, it was CRUCIAL to be a team player, or else someone could get gravely injured or with a concussion. Everyone has their own idea of what to do, but what matters is if the outcome goes according to plan seamlessly. I have been through many life-threatening events in my life that I pray I shall never go through, but what my family and I have noticed is that, out of all of us, only I was the one who maintained composure and took control of the situation. This led to me being able to make swift decisions, even though the outcome may be very different than what is expected. At that point, you just need to accept it and carry on. I always have been very curious about many things growing up. This curiosity carried with me as I grew older. I always look for new things to learn. Contrary to what many believe, I would rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one. Throughout my life, I have always been a natural leader. Within personal friend groups and in an academic setting. I form friend groups, lead group projects, and I enjoy seeing every single person succeed, whether in life or with a grade. I enjoy teaching them about new methods of doing things that make their life a bit easier. Most of all, I enjoy introducing new opportunities for growth for my closest friends whom I know would appreciate it.

I learn best by…

doing ithearing someone explain it

I am a kinesthetic learner, which means I learn hands-on. I need someone to give me a thorough explanation of what to do, then show me how they do it, and then attempt to do it myself. Then, it's just a matter of putting it into practice while receiving some helpful criticism to help me perfect it.

Things that deeply motivate me…

Making money💰Getting things done ✅Being my most authentic self 🎨Learning as much as I can 🤓Running the show, being in charge ⚡️Working with people I love 🥰

My family, more than anything, motivates me to become a better person with an even brighter future. Everything I do stems from my appreciation for everything my parents did for me growing up, they did so many things with such few resources. They keep telling me that if they can do it, I definitely can too.
