My motivation

My family and business motivate me. I am three of four children in my family. All four of us are lucky to have such supportive parents. No matter the distance between us, we all stay in contact and support each other in everything we do. My parents and siblings always push me to get out of my comfort zone and take the extra step to better prepare me for the future. My business motivates me because it is still new. To further my potential, I will need to continue purchasing cameras and equipment and unfortunately, those items are extremely expensive. This motivates me to continue to work hard and push myself when it comes to advancing in management. 

My latest accomplishments

My latest accomplishment is getting promoted to a Verizon Wireless Solutions Manager. I never expected to accomplish this in such a short period of time. With support from new and former coworkers and management, I was able to hit the ground running in the new career, prove myself, and set myself apart from the competition. 

Next big goal

The next big goal is to finish strong in grad school and obtain my own store as a general manager. 

Why is choosing your own path important?

Choosing your own path is important because you get to make it what you want. I thought I would advance in sports when I graduated college, but two years and a promotion later, I discovered that was not what I wanted to do anymore. As scary as it is, choosing my own path has been significantly beneficial. I have followed my dream of obtaining a master's degree while also uncovering a new hobby in photography and making a business out of it. None of this would be possible if I did not choose my own path.
