My philosophy: When we are in pain, we become self-centered and myopic. When we heal, we become more empathetic, self-less, and sympathetic to the pain and welfare of others. It is our gift to others to heal ourselves.

If I weren't doing what I do now I'd be an unfulfilled person.

Favorite piece of advice: When we lose our gratitude we lose everything.
