To reach success, I truly believe that staying determined is key. It’s about never giving up, especially when things don’t go as planned. Whenever challenges pop up, it’s important to learn from the bumps in the road and keep pushing for better.

The secret to conquering any goal is sticking to it with persistent effort and not letting tough times get the best of you. Remember, success is all about the commitment to keep trying and not letting setbacks hold you back! Read more>>

Marketing or selling ourselves and opening us up to judgment and criticism. This is something I talk about when I share my story. I have suffered from severe anxiety for most of my life. I hid behind my smile and sports and later jobs, but my writing was my escape. It helped me face fears I had deep down. Read more>>

Being successful happens when you allow yourself to make mistakes. There have been many moments in my career where I feel stuck because I’m not fitting a certain mold.

I’ve always lived with the mentality that if I’m not uncomfortable, then I’m not challenging myself. I’ve always allowed my music career to develop the way I want it to, not fitting the “mold” is fine by me. Read more>>

With the golden age of social media, oftentimes we look at everyone’s successes online and only focus on the result without recognizing the entire process of hard work and dedication that lies behind it. And especially as a creative in the filmmaking industry and an aspiring DP (Director of Photography), I see the beautiful work of those that are further along their filmmaking journey than I am and sometimes I’ll find myself doubting my own skills, questioning why I’m not as good as they are, and wondering why I’m not as lucky as other people… And then comes the realization that success isn’t linear, and it isn’t the same for everyone.
