Key Quotes

“I am a firm believer in catty banter and minding your own business.”
“Two things I am really grateful for that I learned in my 20s now that I am in my 30s are…first, kind of getting a better sense of what I like, what is interesting to me and what's going to push me and that is what I want to pursue, the second is more universal, it's like…you can always leave, it doesn't matter where you are, you don't have to stay anywhere.”
“You don't have to be everywhere and not everything has to be for you.”
