Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Friends:

    You'll never get a job unless you move to New York or Los Angeles.

    I became a marketer, which combines creativity, story telling, and multimedia skills with problem solving and data analysis. No day is ever the same. And I'm using my media skills now to drive interest in community college education.
