Deeper Look!

SURF RIDER:
I am an avid reader, listener, and servant leader who thrives on naturally gravitating to things with intentionality and purpose.  My best work is done in remediating obstacles and providing tools or solutions that eliminate pain points.  This comes from being a natural active listener and supporter of causes; with the ability to clearly conceptualize and support a vision or goal that is for the common good.
BORN THIS WAY:
In taking a deeper look, out of the 16 personality traits I continue to land as an INFJ which is listed as the rarest personality type across the population.  However, it is definitely in alignment with my advocacy for community, service, youth and liaison. 
OTHER THINGS I ENJOY:
If I am not spending time with my family, mentees,  or colleagues, I am exploring the beautiful outdoors, something inspirational, or a good nap!
