Career Roadmap
Communicating / Sharing Stories
Day to Day
Every day, I pray, I meditate and go to the gym. I try to take care of any non-work related tasks early in the morning to get them out of the way. I then go to any meetings. I spend the majority of my time working on the different aspects of any projects I have going on like...casting a movie, trying to secure any future projects, etc. I also sit on the Academy's museum committee where I am helping them with aspects dealing with inclusion and diversity. My days are usually very busy!
