I am a total nerd when it comes personality types. I’m completely fascinated by how they impact so much of how we interact with the world!

Fun fact, I’m a weather junkie! I love learning about the weather and watching storms. One of my favorite inspiring quotes comes from Jeremiah 29:11 “I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
DeeDee George

I love watching stand-up comedy in my car during long drives and I literally laugh out loud! I’m also addicted to HGTV – especially Fixer Upper. I believe every piece of property can be turned around to a dreamboat!

Through the Newwave Foundation, I’m able to give back. It’s important to look at your surroundings and see who could use your help, because not everyone is comfortable asking for it
Samara Pitti-Castillo

I was born and raised in Panama! I’ve traveled to 6 different countries and over 15 states! My favorite quote is “If we were meant to stay in one place, we would have roots instead of feet.” -Rachel Wolchin

"Curiosity is fuel for discovery, inquiry and learning." ✨ Remember when you were in elementary school and your teacher made sure the class knew that there was no such thing as a "dumb" question? Well, it's true. Curiosity may have killed the cat but it is a #lifehack for success. The more you ask, the more you'll learn & the more you'll know. Knowledge is power, so stay curious and continue to find ways to be passionate about education. 📝 #lifehack #curiosityisfuelfordiscovery #becurious #dontgiveup #learning #knowledgeispower #lifelessons #education #school #collegestudents #readmore

Let’s try something new for the month of January!🤗 How many times a year do you challenge yourself at something you know is a struggle for you? Well this year, we’re going to overcome that challenge - together! 1. Choose a habit that is hard yet manageable for you to break in school, at work, or in your personal life. 2. Create a cute decorative box or jar 3. Drop .50 cents in the jar every time you continue this habit At the end of the month, reflect to see how much change you’ve accumulated and use this as motivation for the next month to continue to improve your educational or social bad habit. #2020challenges #challengeyourself #wisdomwednesday #savemoney #financialchallenges #responsibility #coinjar #manifestation #overcomingchallenges #breakbadhabits #changeforchange #selfreflection
