- One word that describes how you work: Active
What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why?
Spotify because music can be a distraction, a mood-booster, or a motivator. Snapchat because I like keeping in touch with my friends. Instagram so that I can find motivation to have as good of a life as everyone else seems to be having. Lastly, Twitter so I get my daily doses of humor when needed.
What’s your best time-saving shortcut/life hack?
Getting ahead of your work will save you time overall. Everything always takes longer than you expect. If you start early, you won’t be cramming to try to finish everything and you will understand everything a lot better.
What everyday thing are you better at than everyone else? What’s your secret?
I am really good at remembering where places are. Even though I couldn’t tell you my right from my left, I will know how to get somewhere even if I have only been there one time. I am an extremely observant person which helps me understand where to go.
What do you listen to while you work?
Either country music or older pop songs. The artists I most commonly listen to while working are The Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, Train, and always Taylor Swift when I need motivation.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
Not every day is going to be your best day, but you have to push through the hard times to make the good times worth it.
Where do you find inspiration and new ideas?
Usually social media posts of other people’s accomplishments makes me strive to do better and be better. I also find a lot of inspiration in The Bible.
What’s your favorite quote?
We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
