My philosophy is that you’re always in the right place at the right time. Nothing is a mistake; nothing is by accident. I am a southside Chicago girl. When I was 17, a counselor called me into the office to inform me about a small PR firm looking for someone to help out around the agency after school. I interviewed for the position and became a coordinator intern at a PR agency on Michigan Avenue. All of this happened because that counselor saw something in me. I learned so much at that age, working beside those wonderful PR professionals.
Then, I went to college and majored in Accounting. I don’t know what made me do it. I had this internship at a PR agency that welcomed me back every break and I still went into Accounting. Finally, the next semester I asked myself, why am I doing this? I want to do PR. After that one semester, I changed my major to PR and English writing. The rest is history.
