I’ve always been fascinated with media and telling stories. I have a background in print publishing and have since transitioned to my website, which is a multimedia platform featuring events via Cross Cultures. I was 17 years old when I first started writing for one of the country’s national newspapers. I remember doing all my homework during recess and lunch breaks so I could spend my after-school hours writing for the newspaper or attending press conferences. I had big interviews arranged by companies such as Sony Music and MTV, so I really took it seriously.
I think it’s so important to always put ourselves in the other person’s shoes before reacting; to always remain humble; to always start and end the day with gratitude
