New York Life Insurance Company is a mutual life insurance company that provides life insurance,retirement solutions, and investment services.

I believe that our passions – more than skills, experiences, or education – drive who we are. These passions lead us to develop new skills, chase new experiences, and strive to educate ourselves every day. What am I passionate about? Technology, and the limitless possibilities it provides to make our daily lives better. I love solving real problems that real people have. From my experience below, you’ll see I like tackling really complex problems, often at the intersection of people and technology. I have a bias toward action. I believe that great ideas can come from anywhere and everywhere. Creativity is a muscle we all have, and often we just need to be given the opportunity to flex it. I am continually inspired by people with the courage to bring their ideas to life. Languages: I’d love to learn them all. I am motivated by optimism in others, and strive to approach my work with an enthusiasm that I hope can motivate those around me as well. I dream big, and am comfortable challenging status quo, if it makes us better. Impossible is not a limit I set on myself or others. Volunteering, because nothing compares to making a difference in the day, week, life of someone who needs it. Curiosity. I am fascinated that there is so much world out there to learn about. It is a guarantee that I will always have a new adventure to embark on. But above all, I think my greatest passion is passion itself – how someone else’s passion has the power to truly engage me. How when a person is passionate about something, they are inspiring. We may have different passions, but they have the power to connect us…inspire us…motivate us…or even just start a conversation. These are my passions. What are yours?
