Learning is especially important to me. I actively look for opportunities to grow from anyone that is willing to indulge me or any situation I may face. As an employee at Herrera, I have been given many chances to partake in this practice through my co-workers and/or through the projects we work on. Outside of work I am an avid fan of all the Seattle area professional sports teams. My favorite team is the Mariners.

Education:

Favorite Quote:

"Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away." Quote from the movie Hitch.

Favorite Species & Why:

My favorite animal is the Giant Tortoise. They are so awe inspiring when you see them in person, and I love the various myths different cultures have about them. When I turned 18, I even got a tattoo of the world turtle with the world tree on its back on my shoulder in a PNW art style. There is a special reason why I got this tattoo and if you are curious, I would be happy to tell you why.
