What is your theme word or phrase for 2025?
"Purposeful Expansion" - This phrase reflects my readiness to grow intentionally in every area of life, both professionally and personally. "Purposeful Expansion" is about aligning my ambitions with a clear sense of purpose, choosing opportunities that resonate with the values of my clients and myself, and building a future that feels authentically ours as a team. This year is all about expanding in meaningful ways—from deepening connections with brands and industry professionals to elevating my own influence—while staying true to who I am at the core.
