Although it may not seem like it especially after explaining what inspired me to become a motivational speaker, motivational speaking was not my first career. At the pristine age of one I was a cutie and a model. Surprise!!! After my modeling days I went on to become an author of a children’s book and finally a motivational speaker. One of my most compelling topic in motivational speaking is ‘Dreaming Big’. My Dream Big speech inspires and motivates people to follow their dreams, put a plan in system and encourages them to never give up. I cover a variety of subtopics under "Dreaming Big" such as, the different steps required in order to execute our goals, the different challenges we could potentially face, and how to overcome them. My motivation comes from my mom, she motivates me with her determination, responsibilities, unconditional love, an just being the best mom in the world. Watching her uplifting spirit, determination in everything she does, and how responsible she is emboldens me to conform to those same traits. As of yet, I have not had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and expressing my views on a TED talk, but there is always the future.
My favorite thing about my career is being able to travel to different cities around the country to motivate other teens to follow their dreams, inspire adults, and the excitement I get from reading to children. Doing what I do has inspired other people to dream big, how to prioritize their schedules, and practice the method of Stop, Drop, Work, then Play. I plan on continuing my profession because of the advantage I have with other people near and of my age. Being a motivational speaker at the age of fourteen provides a platform for me to encourage other youths to follow their dreams.
Life as a young rising actress is still mostly mundane. The job is fun, rewarding and busy especially when filming several films back to back. I’ve worked with and have met great producers, actresses, and actors on set. I am grateful for the opportunities have had and enjoy the meet and greets have have been present at. The only abnormal element to my life as an actress is meeting and taking pictures with followers; but I don’t mind I find it quite fun to interact with them. I´ve found that while being an actress that stress will only grow inside of you when your acting for the wrong reasons.
If you are acting because it is what you truly want to do then the stress will turn into fun. Memorizing lots of lines based on your character´s role, working long hours, and missing out on other activities are part of the job but if you love acting you it will be worth it. In the past I have filmed over a dozen films and videos and I am currently acting as Taylor in “Dads Do,It Too”. I also have two leading roles in two more films this spring.
I want to motivate people to make and take time for the,selves and to dream their biggest dream. Like most rising entrepreneurs I have had obstacles in my way. One of the obstacles I faced was my age. I could see people’s apprehension in the beginning of my career due to my age. However, after affording me with various opportunities things seemed to work out in the end.
