Mental health is an important but overlooked aspect of our lives. It is very important for people to find help when they need it so that they can continue on with life while feeling the way they want to feel. I want to help them. I want to be the first step in that process, the bridge, between people and the mental health resources they need.
It is where I aspire to be in the long run that keeps me going. Life is a journey full of surprises, and nothing will go 100% as planned; but with my perseverance and dedication to what is at the end of the long run, anything is possible.

I am motivated by my grandfather, who battled cancer and at one point was given 4 months left to live, however he still alive today, 14 years later. I am also very motivated by the passing of my other grandfather who was diagnosed with ALS. I aim to lead research to find a cure and prevent others from having to suffer like my grandfathers.

The current software and technology industries are currently run a way that make it difficult for new students or people existing in the field to learn the skills necessary to begin their careers or find the jobs they would enjoy. I intend to recreate the way these industries are run in their entirety through a venture of my own.

I strongly dislike seeing people on the streets and knowing that they don't have a choice because not many people acknowledge their existence, I really want to build a bunch of shelters around the world, and develop a life program that's going to help the homeless gain stability!
