01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Have confidence in yourself. If there's any decisions that I want to make but I'm kind of like a little weary about it, I can definitely ask, but make sure whoever you're asking for advice, especially in a work setting, make sure that person is familiar with your work. Because not all advice is good advice, and just because someone's in a certain position, their advice will be the right advice. So it's just analyzing and trusting my decisions, and also going to a trusted person who has years experience or education.
