What would be your “dream job” in life?
My dream job in life would be to give world issues a voice by doing so through either news reporting/anchoring or radio. I would love to work at any media outlet that would allow me to create awareness on world issues to any listening audience.
List any interesting or unusual jobs you may have had.
The most interesting job that I have had, I would have to say is working in retail. I started at a very young age and found it fascinating that people would trust in me to give them a look that they could feel comfortable and confident in. I found this very fun, because not only was I finding myself and my personal style at the age of 16 but I was also giving older people advice on how to dress.
Where is the most interesting place you have been?
The most interesting place that I have been and have traveled to more than once was the country of Greece and its surrounding islands. I found that I really embraced the culture, tradition and people which in turn made me appreciate the simpler things in life.
What is your philosophy of/in life?
I believe that knowledge is power. When you know better you do better.
