What’s the best career advice you’ve received? My aunt once told me never to be “caught by the golden handcuffs.” I’ve considered that in all of the positions I’ve taken. She taught me not to let money be the only objective when looking for a career.

What advice would you give your 22-year-old self? Enjoy the freedom that comes with less responsibility and don’t worry; everything works out in the end.

Which social media platform do you use the most, and why? Facebook is a great platform to keep connected with people locally and across the globe. I’m just getting started with Snapchat but need a lesson from my 16-year-old sister.

Is your career arc moving fast enough? Why or why not? Yes, absolutely. I consider myself an extreme multitasker and the nonprofit sector is the perfect place for my personality. •
