Let’s grow together.

In my eyes, life is most fulfilling when you’re in a constant pursuit of growth. That was the inspiration behind the name of this blog - the Greek word “Areté” meaning “excellence and reaching one’s full potential.” The reason I started this blog was to document my “Journey to Areté,” and to hopefully share some valuable insights along the way.

The topics I am most passionate about include marketing/communications, data, entrepreneurship, sports/fitness, travel, photography, finance, and personal development. All of these topics and more will be extensively explored throughout this blog.

If I can be helpful to you in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out via the Contact page. Any advice or feedback would also be appreciated. Thank you for choosing to spend your time learning alongside me.

Now that I’ve finally accomplished my goal of surviving my first marathon (+ beating my own expectations on my finish time), I thought it would be beneficial to share it with others through my personal blog.
