“My biggest advice for entrepreneurs is to move and pray. The Lord is so real…when you plant seeds for yourself the path is created and His purpose for your life will come to fruition. Put in the work: apply to jobs, network, research, etc but also pray and actually let Him guide you”. She continued stating, “also, avoid distractions and be careful who you keep around. Take care of your body, nourish the different areas of your life. Read a book, workout, partake in quality conversation, and focus on being the best version of yourself”. Her words of wisdom are especially appreciated by her interns. “I love talking with them and working with them. I try to help them figure out the purpose in their passion and how it translates in their career”

When your mind/perspective is opened, when you learn to critically think, then you’re able to understand people around you. That was hard for me at first. Trust is everything in the PR business. Trust is important in client relationships and personal relationships too. The purpose of a PR is to create trust between the public and the client”.
