WHAT IS YOUR
UNIQUE GENIUS?
how did you become interested in this career?
MY COLLEGE CLASS INSPIRED ME
I did not know I wanted to do this with my life. I had no idea what I was good enough at. It wasn't until I took a horticulture class in college where I had that "aha" moment. It was the first subject that I excelled in and was fascinated by. I was so eager to learn more.

WHAT SKILLS DOES IT TAKE TO BE SUCCESSFUL AT YOUR JOB?
LEARNING FROM LOVED ONES
I have learned the most that I know today from my family. My dad, mom, and my three siblings each have vastly different traits and knowledge. I have taken different advice and noted different successes and failures from all of them to get where I am today.
I am able to make my patients feel comfortable and well cared for while using my analytical brain to give them the best dermatologic care possible.
WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU KNEW WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER?
BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAM
I wish I knew that whatever dream I had when I was younger could actually be achieved. Growing up, I always said I wanted to be a Park Ranger, but nobody took me seriously. Anything you think is interesting can become a life path. That made choosing a major in college extremely difficult from what I had been told my whole life.

DISCOVERY HORTICULTURE MAJOR
A defining moment in my life was when I discovered Horticulture as a college major. I took a community college plant propagation course with a friend of mine and for the first time in my life I felt motivated to learn about a topic. I dove deep into the realm of horticulture, transferred to a university, got a degree in Horticulture and Landscape Management, and discovered my obsession with trees and plant sciences!
