Tell us about a professional goal you have made strides towards this year.

This year my goal is to grow my social media following. Covid 19 has proven that social media is a key tool for not just business, but for personal well being. The Black Lives Matter movement has also proven that social media isn't just for videos and entertainment, but for important messages of unity and survival. I've always blogged and used social media, but I am being much more deliberate and intentional.

What are three traits you are proud to possess?

I am direct, I take calculated risks and I am a good communicator.

What is a recent accomplishment you are proud of?

Because I love to speak and write, I was approached by a law firm in NY to serve as an vintage expert witness in a high profile fashion case regarding the history of a disputed handbag design. It was the first time my passion opened that level of opportunity. Being deposed on my knowledge and experience was truly flattering and gave me great pride.

What do you think is your greatest strength?

My speaking skills. I was always a natural communicator. I definitely get nervous and anxious like everyone else, but as long as I know what my core message is, I find it easy to express myself with individuals or large crowds. I never knew this was such a difficult skill for most. I thank my parents for literally forcing me to socialize at parties when I was young.

What is something people would be surprised to learn about you?

I usually have a lot on my plate. Multiple projects and jobs. I think people are surprised to find out I have three chronic autoimmune illnesses. When you have a silent illness, it's really easy to get people to focus on your work and work ethic. But once those illnesses kick your behind, and you are no longer this work horse, it feels defeating and it's quite surprising to those who never would've known. I think I have been ambitious all my life BECAUSE I have illnesses.
