1WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOUR AUDIENCE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU?
Personally, I love all-things-fashion! It brings me great joy to simply walk inside a fabric store, or to walk inside a boutique located in a small town. In addition, I’ m absolutely in love with small dogs. I’ ll walk up to a total stranger to interact with their dog. Relatively, my audience needs to know that I’ m super approachable. I love to help people anyway I can with career advice, fashion tips and / or self-esteem motivation.

WHAT
DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT YOUR CAREER IN ENTERTAINMENT?
What I love most about my career is that I’ m able to still be very social. Growing up, I’ ve always been outgoing and sociable, so now that I’ m able to still be myself AND get paid is a blessing.
3WHAT HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED IN YOUR CAREER THAT YOU HAVE NEVER ANTICIPATED?
I’ ve been working in news, media, the entertainment industry, etc. for about a decade. Therefore I’ ve had to prove myself to men and women, young and old, the minority and majority. Though I never anticipated constantly starting over. Unfortunately, there has been no such thing as a lateral move within my career path; which is difficult, but ultimately humbling.
4WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR? WHAT MESSAGE( S) DO YOU HOPE TO SHARE WITH YOUR AUDIENCE IN THE YEARS AHEAD?
I stand for class and professionalism. I never had to compromise my beliefs or morals to succeed. The next generation,“ the Instagram Era” should understand that if you were raised as a lady or gentleman, stand your ground. Don’ t feel the need to fall into compromising situations in the workplace or outside the workplace. Once a lady; always a lady.
