Dream Job as a Kid
Someone that I could admire. I saw that there were an unlimited number of possible career paths, but many of them didn’t make a clear difference in people’s lives. I wanted a job where I could have an impact.
Guilty Pleasure
Reading and creative writing. I love storytelling in all its forms and have published one internationally award-winning novel. I am hoping to publish another novel shortly.
