My life experiences will allow me to become a great leader. I have travelled the work and experienced all sorts of cultures & plan on seeing more. Being cultured and
wordly makes a person more accepting and adaptive to environments and challenges. I also am first generation American born, so I am aware of diversity and always take the time to understand and have compassion towards others. These are all important
experiences that have humbled me and made me the person I am today, and eventually the leader I strive to become.

Tools I have now include my education, BS-Accounting, my current journey to achieve my MBA.

I also have role models in my personal and professional life that I can get advice and mentored when I am facing challenges.

I have taken both I & II of this class. The concept I most struggled with was adaptive leadership. Towards the last half of this class, I began to really think of Adaptive Challenges with in my organization.  Adaptive leadership/challenges are high level organizational problems that cannot be changed with a technical fix. Well thought out strategies must be drafted and put into action in order to find a solution to these challenges.

Sources of Inspiration:

My Family for being the best support system.

My two professional role models, supervisors and manager at Brookdale.  Kim & Elie were both transformational leaders & I learned a lot from them while on their team.  They are team leaders that I strive to be one day to my followers.
