Xavier Postell
Xavier Postell
Born in Camp Pendleton, raised in Florida, I've moved around a lot in my life and had the opportunities to build upon myself in so many unique ways. I look forward to challenging myself even if I want to shy away, and I love to challenge others. I think in life, we will always be students so it's best to question and probe and never just take things at face value, because at the end of the day we're all still learning.
