Sophia Martinez

Vivien has been a guiding light in my journey for many years. As a mentor, he profoundly shaped my perspective and inspired me to push myself beyond my limits.
I’ll never forget one of the first lessons he shared with me after I arrived in the U.S.: take full responsibility for everything that happens in your life. He reminded me that while this country can be stressful, it is also filled with opportunities for those willing to take a chance. His words helped me understand that we are all the masters of our own lives, and that mindset has guided me ever since.
