Q: What are you most excited to learn at B-Stock?

I am most excited to learn about the types of questions and topics that come up in client meetings, in regards to what kind of data the clients are looking for. 

Q: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? (Or still want to be!)

When I was really young, I wanted to be a professional baseball player, but eventually changed my goal to working in the front office of an MLB team, which is still what I want to do when I grow up.

Don’t overthink.

Definitely my sports trivia, although I’m better at trivia for events that happened in the 2010s-current.

Q: What plays in the background while you work (music genre, podcast, news)?

Music, I like an artist named Juice WRLD, his music calms me down.

I would probably just travel all over Asia and Europe; there are many countries that I would like to visit in those two continents that I’ve never been able to go to.

Q: What do you do when you’re stuck creatively? How do you get the creative juices flowing?

I usually just listen to music or watch videos that interest me; oddly, that helps me come up with more ideas.

Becoming a Questbridge Scholar, allowing me to go to college on a nearly full-ride scholarship.

Q: What is one thing you hope to contribute to B-Stock?
