Sharp & Driven is built around my life experiences as I shape myself into the person that I want to be.

I am 17 and still a student. I am learning, testing ideas, developing my own tastes, and deciding what I want my future to look like.

I care about style, health and fitness, sports, culture, travel and politics. I care about my education and which doors it opens for me. I strive to learn more about economics and politics. I love discussing different ideas and learning to view the world through other people’s eyes. My experience with Model UN has pushed me to research politics and law.

Travelling the world has also shaped how I see things. I want to keep building that cultural knowledge as I get older.

My mom has built businesses, brands and achieved financial independence. I get to learn from that experience, but I also want to start my own ventures.

Being sharp is not only about appearance. It contains many aspects like awareness, self-care, taste, and communication. Being driven is not about constantly trying to look busy. You need direction, discipline and something meaningful you are working toward.

Sharp & Driven gives me a place to explore both sides while I am building them for myself.

I want it to become useful to people who are doing the same: people who want to be healthier, better informed, more independent, better traveled, more thoughtful about what they own and more intentional about the life they are creating.

I am still at the beginning of mine. That is exactly why I am excited to be part of this.
