Profile: I love traveling and learning about different cultures, spending time with my family, painting, running, cooking, and learning Japanese.

2012 Goals: My goals for 2012 is to cultivate positive habits in the areas of my studies and personal life. Define my priorities in life and go for it with full force with nothing holding me back.

Why Southwestern Advantage: I have not found any other commitment to be more meaningful, efficient, productive, and challenging (both emotionally, mentally, and physically) than the Southwestern Advantage program. And for this I am so grateful for the opportunities it offers.

Biggest Challenge: Trusting myself and my potential, not letting the “outside surface” of things dictate my attitude, building and trusting BIG MO and the 150+ year Southwestern system.

Biggest Benefits: Meaningful and deep relationships with Southwestern Advantage teams and the families I interact with, making many meaningful memories in a short period of time, investing my summer time wisely, growing both internally (discipline) and externally (skills).

Interesting Fact: I am half Japanese and half Italian, I am the eldest of 4 sisters, I have been to more than 15 different countries around the world and Bangladesh and South Korea are my favorite so far, I want to become a excellent Kick Boxer, and have 5 children in the future.
