Give us your most inspiring bit of advice:
I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot in my 31 years of life. Saving up for my own apartment in Manhattan, landing a great job, and the ultimate move to New York from LA on my own not knowing a single soul or having anything lined up. In all of that I learned to shut out the noise from other people and just focus on my dreams and goals. If you believe in something enough, it will 100% come true with hard work and being good to people. I’m very happy to say that I’m proof of that.
