Worked my way up starting as temp tech-support to operations manager over the course of 2 years.

Know your worth, but be humble. Never stop learning. Remember your roots.

Don’t be afraid to take chances. Be vulnerable. Find success in failure. Laugh. Stay healthy.

Don’t let comparison steal the satisfaction of your own life and know that perfection can be the biggest enemy of progress.

One of the things that I feel very excited about is when a product or service is done well.

I decided to build my own business, I officially built my animation studio in February 2017.

I hit a million dollars on Upwork. That was big to see it change on my profile to say “Over $1M earned”.

Your business will only grow as you have the capacity and professionalism to manage that business.

I realized I wouldn't have come this far if I had waited to have all I needed before starting. But I dared to try.

Once you find a niche, stick to that niche and be consistent. And that is what makes someone succeed in something.

No matter where you are right now, nothing is permanent. Everything is temporary.

Ignore your inner saboteur. Don’t let negative self-talk impede your progress.

For me, the ability to work in varying locations or step outside with my dog when I need to clear my head is huge.

Number one, be passionate about it, but number two, don't let it take over your life, don't let it consume you.

You just need to be consistent in your efforts and you shall prevail! 

It's a tool, just like any other, and so we have the choice on how we wield it and how it affects our lives.

You have to be consistent, keep trying, keep trying and keep trying. Quality matters.

Always advocate for your work and make sure that others understand how it impacts them.

There's something out there for anyone interested in tech, it's about understanding our strengths

Reminding myself that all problems are solvable, shifts my state of mind into curiosity and creativity and problem-solving.
