What did you do in your studies to set you up for success in your career?
I would say that I have always been an extrovert. In high school, I was in a lot of clubs, like theater club and the Anti-Defamation League club. We would teach other students and do a lot of public speaking.
So, I have always put myself out there. I think that is a great skill to have for any career choice you decide to make. It involves being able to put yourself out there, talk to people, get to know them, and work on your public speaking skills.
