Her Interview
Ten minutes with Angela
01What do you attribute your success to?
Passion is the driver of my work ethic. Passion is contagious and makes the day go by easier when you really care about something.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
No one's gonna give you anything. You have to go for it yourself. It's not gonna be handed to you. You have to be really intentional with what you want, and where you want to go. Speak it into existence and work towards that goal.
