What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to helping others and the motivation I get from seeing others feel comfortable and confident with themselves. That's my biggest motto. I believe in the power of making people feel good about themselves, and that drives everything I do in the beauty industry.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've ever received is don't take a no. Just move forward, learn, and keep trying. There's no failures, there's just opportunities to keep trying. This mindset has helped me push through challenges and continue growing in my career.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I am very dedicated to my family. In my personal time, my hobby is doing plants. I love to be getting new trees, nourishing them, growing them, and seeing how they prosper. Giving back to the people is also something that I really value. Through my involvement with the Anna community, every month we have something new to achieve through helping the community, and that's something I find very meaningful.
