Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
I’ve always been a self-learner, I think it’s important to practice learning new things always. That’s how I’ve acquired knowledge in topics like design and foreign languages.
Like others, I struggled to see the value in my vision from time to time. Despite this self doubt, I took every opportunity to collaborate with others on writing, editing, and publishing projects.
Thanks to my internship at 1888, a nonprofit creative center, I gained a business understanding of the publishing industry.
In this inventive space, I practiced branding, marketing, event management, networking, and creative problem-solving.
After feeling confident enough in my knowledge and ability, I set up my own company and project specifications to bring PRONTO to life.
Made the move to Cambridge, Massachusetts where I've continued to learn and hone my skills.
My company, PRONTO, is still in the process of being developed.

Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for everyone
Don't isolate yourself; ask for help sooner. There are people who have a larger vision, who have your personal interests at heart. They can teach you about their experiences. Practice sharing yourself with people; you need feedback on yourself.
