“Working at ViacomCBS for the past 5 years has been a great experience. It was my first job out of college and I have the extraordinary opportunity to work with amazing people across news, entertainment and sports.

I was able to land my job through a networking event. With the media industry, it’s SO important to network. You really have to put yourself out there and not limit yourself to what ever you want to do in life.

As far as challenges, you will have to be okay with not having people to support you. The first thing you have to do it believe in yourself. If you have a passion or something that you want to achieve, then go for it. Throughout my journey, I’ve learned that you have to work for what you want and that if there is limited opportunity to create your own opportunities. Good things come to those who wait, but great things come to those who work. It’s your choice! You have to put in the work, you have to be resilient and persistent.”

“For me, the goal has always been to leave a legacy known more than just a face. I want to inspire others to not limit themselves to what ever they want to do in life. Diddy always said “can’t stop, won’t stop” and I will continue to strive to be an inspiration and a positive role model to the upcoming generation.”
