1. The future is unknown to all of us, but yet people always strive to work for a better tomorrow. What or who make you want to build a better tomorrow?
“I would say that what makes me want to build a better tomorrow would be my kids. They are the reason why I decided to go back to school as an adult student, I wanted to get my degree and pursue my dreams. I did it for myself, but most of all I did it for them. This way they can see that anything in life is possible, no matter how big the obstacle.”
2. Tell me about a time that you have had to over come adversity. What happened and how did you succeed?
“A lot of my adversity came from my own thinking. After my divorce, I had to remember who I was and the goals that I wanted to accomplish for myself. I remembered what my life’s passions were, acting, and I set on a journey to bring myself back on the right path for my life. I’ve studied my craft from professional classes in Los Angeles and in New York, including my time that I studied at California State University, Dominguez Hills. Hard work, dedication, and a plan is what helped me persevere.”
3. What gives you confidence, a sense that you’re worth it?
“The fact that I know that if I don’t believe in myself then no one else will. I have to constantly remind myself that I am worth it, and that all the hard work and struggles that I’ve put in and been through hasn’t been for nothing. I have to be my biggest cheerleader, believe me I have my team of supporters that I’m so grateful for, but their belief in my dream can only be as big as my own.”
