HELLO. YOU WON! YOU FOUND ME.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in Pensacola, FL, lived in Atlanta, GA for a hot minute, made a brief stint in Austin, TX, learned a few life lessons in Portland, OR, currently live in Philadelphia, PA, and am open to relocating. Whew! 😅
WHAT DO YOU DO? WHO ARE YOU?
What? I am a Digital Art Director/Designer and aspiring MLIS candidate. My voice blends diverse culture, perspective, and creative discipline. By leveraging my experience and leadership skills, I thrive on striking a balance between strategic collaboration and individual creation, aiming to drive creative excellence and contribute to team success. While my creativity is my force, my true superpower is bringing people together and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Who? In short, I’m a lifelong learner, bookworm, music lover, and bird enthusiast.
WHAT FICTIONAL CHARACTER DO YOU MOST RELATE TO?
Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I don’t own a katana, but my sun sign is Leo, I will always choose pizza, and I love all shades of blue. We both exude natural leadership qualities, quick thinking, and a deep commitment to helping our team shine. Just like how Leo seeks peace and centeredness, my stoic and patient approach reflects a commitment to doing the right thing. Turtle power!
AS A CHILD, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?
A librarian or blood splatter analyst. Yes, wildly different, but both require attention to detail, research skills, and a massive amount of organizational and problem-solving skills. What’s cooler than solving mysteries?
WHICH FAMOUS PERSON WOULD YOU WANT TO SPEND THE DAY WITH?
Bruce Lee. My middle name - Li - is an homage to him chosen by my dad (pictured with me above) and serves as a permanent reminder to “be water”. He inspires me to never stop learning which now influences my leadership style: be authentic, embrace failure, stay committed, keep an open mind, and lead by example.
WHAT IS THE BEST CONCERT YOU’VE EVER BEEN TO?
Marc Anthony - Pa'lla Voy Tour in Austin, TX on April 3, 2022. My mom and I traveled from different parts of the country to attend this unforgettable concert together. As proud Puerto Ricans, experiencing the performance of the best-selling salsa artist of all time was truly a dream come true. ¡Wepa Boricua! 🇵🇷
