"I had always been interested in television and movies and just like entertainment overall. Um, and I knew that I wanted to do something in that space."

"I supervise interns at my company and I also help, um, give notes and design decks and sizzles, um, for all of our projects"

"there's a really fun part of the job, which involves like us creating our own, um, sort of concepts and show ideas, um, which is really cool."

"Being able to communicate clearly and concisely is really important."

"And, you know, obviously, I get to hear about all the fun, like pop culture stuff that happens as well. So, really fun overall."

"It's really easy for things to get lost along the way, so ultimately my job is to make sure that that doesn't happen."

"I really enjoy knowing that the work that I'm doing is showcasing the real lives of other people."

"Speak up, share your opinions, and carve out space to be heard."

"Sometimes I would feel that I didn't belong or got there by luck, but being able to snap out of it and be like, 'well I am doing just fine actually.'"

"I would recommend either working for a large talent agency...or if you're more into the physical production of things, being a production assistant."

"Oftentimes failure is kind of the only way that you're gonna be able to learn certain things"

"I cared less about the actual role, but more about like the lasting impact of what I wanted to do and how I wanted to touch the lives of other people"

"So it's all about balance. Never think your dreams are too lofty or that you're being irresponsible by following them. Most people end up where they need to be."
