The world needs more:

1. Compassion

2. Empathy

Wow Factor: My ability to think ahead, act in a timely manor and organize my schedule. Growing up with a younger brother, I had to think at least one step ahead if I wanted to have a say in what we were doing, where we were going etc. So I think I learned from a young age that if I didn’t think ahead, I wouldn’t get to sit next to the person I wanted to at family dinners, or play with the toy of my choice instead of my brother getting to take it first. When I was younger I also sailed a tall ship around the world and I think that greatly impacted my character today. Onboard we had to be on time and if we were more than 90 seconds late we were reprimanded- the reason being that they would have to assume a man overboard drill for safety purposes. So I learned very quickly the value of being on time when that was a daily focus 24/7 for an entire year of my life. And as a new mom, I think everyone can understand the importance of schedules. Be it sleep, pumping or feeding schedules- you have to pay attention to your time. I think there’s a lot I still have to learn, but I’m really good at time, organization and thinking ahead.

Favorite color: Scarlet red although you wouldn’t know that from looking at my closet of mostly black clothes
