 Tell us what drives you? What is your true passion in life? 

The thought of what kind of legacy I can leave for the next generation of empowered and successful women. Honestly, I’m a communicator at heart, and I find that my passion is communicating, whether it’s radio or TV.

 How did you find your passion, and how old were you?

I was 14years old when I was encouraged by my family to try out for a teen TV show, and I got the job on my first try. I really felt like I was a natural, and over time, I realized I had a passion for it.

 What about your passion appeals to you the most? 

People fascinate me the most. The way they react and are emotional about all I do and say. It’s scary and exciting knowing how much impact I can have.

When I was transitioning from radio to TV, my then program director encouraged me to try and realize I can commercialize my talent and up until then, money was secondary to my passion and maybe still is but at least now I know and understand the commercial end of things.

 When was the first time you were paid for your passion? 

I was actually paid as early as my first job which was the teens TV show.

 What kept you going when you thought about giving up?  I get a lot of moments that make my work hard or tough days. The most uplifting thing is learning to find your own reason and joy for doing your job. I have found my own happy in my passion and that keeps me going.

 What motivates you every day to be even more successful? 

I write goals every year and if I can see growth, especially in my brand, each year, then I have reason to celebrate. I work on this daily and it’s my motivation.

 What do you have to say to all of the people who doubted you?

Haahaa well the success speaks for itself, all the response I need.

 What advice do you give to aspiring creatives who look up to you?

To know it’s a day at a time, you won’t work on your goals unless you break them down a day at a time.
