What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success mainly to my mom. She always said she wanted me to be better than her, and she has always been my biggest fan. I didn't go to school for nothing - I went to school to be a journalist. So I pushed myself, did the internships, and took risks to pursue PR. After I quit being a journalist, my mom was the one who said, 'Why don't you try something else?' She brought PR onto my radar and put the PR spectrum in front of me. At first, I was scared to take that risk. I was like, 'Oh, I want to try it, but I'm scared,' but she was the one who pushed me to be in PR. So I have to credit that to her. I do everything for my family, but mainly for my mom.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've ever received is to never take no for an answer. As a journalist, there are so many no's, but you have to keep trying. You have to keep trying, because at the end of the day, there will be that one yes that will lead you into a whole door of opportunities. That one yes can open up so many possibilities, so you can't let the rejections stop you from pursuing what you want.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Curiosity, a commitment to informing and helping people, perseverance, and strong family support are the values I hold most important. I pride myself on being thorough in research and storytelling while maintaining personal integrity and dedication to my work.
