What is the best advice you have ever received? I’ve received so many great pieces of advice over the years but what has really stuck with me is to work hard when no one is looking and not to be scared of failure (learn from it and try again!).

What was your first job? Waitress at a breakfast restaurant.
What advice would you give your 22-year-old self? Keep learning. Don’t shy away from a challenge.
