Tell us about someone that inspires you.
My grandfather inspires me. He was born from immigrant parents who came to America with nothing. He worked in many different industries but one thing remained constant - he worked hard. He never let his age or "resume" stop him from pursuing any business venture and he ultimately found success by being a person who people wanted to work with. But his business success is not what inspires me about him - it's his unwavering love for his family. He is always there to help his family and will do anything for them.
What are you most grateful for?
I am most grateful for my family. I know that I wouldn't be the person I am without them. They have supported me not only financially - but they have supported any path I've wanted to pursue, no matter how difficult they knew it would be. When I wanted to move across the Country to pursue acting in Atlanta, I received nothing but support from my family, and I am so grateful for all of them.
What is the best part about working in your industry?
I film video legacies of people, and the best part about it is how it effects other people. I see people come to life when they talk about their past, I see them fall in love again, and I see them realize their importance. Selfishly I get to hear incredible stories and learn incredible lessons from my elders, but my favorite part is seeing the impact it has on my clients and their families.
What is a recent accomplishment you are proud of?
I recently started my own business, and I am very proud of myself for doing it. I realized that I wasn't passionate about what I was doing, and I truly searched within myself to discover what I wanted to do instead. I could have easily continued doing what I was doing before - but I decided I wanted to love my career and find importance in it. I put aside everything I had worked toward and started over and I'm so glad that I did.
