My love for retail started early. At school, I was a passionate drama student and thrived in that creative space. Other than drama, I found it overwhelming having to choose subjects in high school as I really had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I mean, who did, right?
I feel so lucky to have fallen into a space where my love for people, music, and creative storytelling collide. But not everyone is as lucky as I am. I have met many people who are still on the road to discovering themselves and what they want to achieve in their life.

If you are one of those people, my advice to you is to hold tight and keep pushing your limits until you find a space that you are comfortable and content in - just like I am.

Are you someone that is living the vision and aspirations that you set out for yourself?
