1) THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?

The many people I’ve encountered on Rough Edge Media's journey. It taught me to trust myself and to have faith that I am capable in providing a trusting service in a very exploited industry. On another note, I’m extremely pleased with my progress in fitness. Around this time, last year, I was put on medication that depleted me. I almost experienced a potassium overdose so I learned my lesson to go holistic.

2) THEWORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?

Prior to Rough Edge Media, an old friend/coworker of mine founded a company with me. Strangely enough, things weren’t adding up. That is why a lack of trust and communication lead us to go our separate ways. It was a very hard decision to make. At the time - it definitely felt like the worst thing to happen to me. Looking back I'm grateful it lead me down this road. If it wasn’t for my talent following close behind during such a tough transition, I wouldn’t be where I am today, it brought us closer.

3) YOUR BIGGEST WISH FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?

Health, happiness, and success. I hope to be surrounded by positivity and to prosper at Rough Edge Media.

4) YOUR BIGGEST WORRY FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?

Unfortunately, overthinking is a speciality of mine - I feel we all have this inherent fear of failure, so I am always nervous something will backfire even if I’m giving it my all. I worry that I should never attach myself to anyone or anything because everything is temporary. Everything has an expiration date.

5) A CONTEMPORARY WOMAN YOU CURRENTLY ADMIRE?

Dayna Ghiraldi @daynatravers of Big Picture Media @bigpicturemedia- she built an empire, alone, from scratch out of her apartment. Eventually, her entertainment publicity agency grew so much so, she began to surround herself with an honorable team.

6) A ONE-SENTENCE MESSAGE TO OTHER WOMEN?

If one door closes, you kick two more open - Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities, you can’t expect them to show up at your doorstep no matter who you are and what you have to offer.
