THE BEST CAREER ADVICE I EVER RECEIVED: To just be a good person and to focus on a role that interests you. Focusing on the short-term economics will lead to failure.

THE BEST CAREER DECISION I EVER MADE WAS: The moment I wasn’t loving every minute, I chose to take control of the situation and make a change. Sometimes it’s necessary to shake things up.
