Tooth of Time Philmont Scout Reservation
"There was a boy who stood at the base of a mountain, uncertain but determined. With each step upward, he left behind doubt and fear, replacing them with strength, courage, and a fire that would never fade. Philmont wasn’t just a place—it was the proving ground where a boy became something more. And at the summit, he realized the greatest climb was not of rock and trail, but of character and heart."
A goal started is just the beginning of a new life.
"The trail to Eagle is not just a path through merit badges and service projects—it is a journey of perseverance, leadership, and character. Every challenge overcome, every lesson learned, and every moment of service carves a foundation for a lifetime of purpose. Earning Eagle is not the end of the road; it is the beginning of a life led by the Scout Oath and Law, where the highest peaks are still ahead, and the greatest rewards come from lifting others along the way."

Summary of Goals
My Qualifications as a Goal Setter
From a young age, I understood the importance of setting goals, a lesson I first encountered in Boy Scouts and high school. The discipline of mapping out objectives, whether for earning merit badges or preparing for life beyond school, became second nature. Influential thinkers like Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, and Jim Rohn reinforced the value of writing down goals, breaking them into actionable steps, and committing to continuous improvement.
Today, that mindset remains a cornerstone of my personal and professional growth. As I complete my degree in Organizational Leadership from ASU, I recognize that learning and development never stop. My professional goals include advancing my leadership skills, expanding my network, mentoring others, and staying at the forefront of industry innovation. Additionally, I am committed to enhancing my communication abilities, achieving a master’s degree, and contributing to meaningful projects that create lasting impact.
Beyond career aspirations, I am prioritizing work-life balance and personal well-being. A new focus is maintaining my fitness and health, ensuring that I have the energy and mobility to excel in every aspect of life. Goal-setting is not just a one-time exercise—it’s a lifelong habit. As long as I can, I will continue to grow, set new challenges, and refine the path ahead.
