Tweet I am that girl who everyone knows as driven and optimistic. I’m rarely without a smile (dimples included!) and when I think something is really funny, my nerdy laugh comes out. I strive to do the best job I can at everything I do, even if things are stressful and difficult. I bring an

Corporate Fashionista
Tweet Brandkit is all about developing your personal brand, and I believe a big part of your personal brand is your personal style. Trends come and go, but if you have a great personal style, your wardrobe doesn’t. Ever since I was little, I’ve had a penchant for girly clothes – I used to love wearing tiaras,

Literature Love Affair
Tweet I am continually inspired by everything around me. It seems that everything has a story to tell and something to teach me. When I have bad days, I try to remember, that those too have stories to tell and are inspiring in their own right. Stories have always fascinated me. I just recently finished

Authentic Values
Tweet When I was younger, I used to get so upset when two of my friends both asked me to do something on the same day – I didn’t want to upset either of them by saying I had other plans. As I grew up, I realized that the reason I had such a difficult

Having a Release
Tweet Blogging for the past few weeks on Brandkit has been a lot of fun! The start of blogging at Brandkit coincided with the height of a busy season at work, and it has been worthwhile to have some forced reflection time each week to think about what I want out of life and what my

Drive and Passion to Learn and Grow
Tweet My ideal life is, quite simply, a full one. I want to try new things, travel, and learn as much as possible. That being said, I also want to settle down close to my parents, get married, and have a family. I’ve talked about how life-changing my experiences on the West Coast were, and

Seek Comfort – Seek Challenge
Tweet I think the things that scare you ultimately end up making the biggest impacts on your life. I read once that to live a successful life, you must balance living comfortably with being challenged. As humans, we tend to seek comfort – we like what we’ve already done, and are naturally scared to seek

Passion Work?
Tweet I’ve always admired people who know exactly what they want to do with their lives from the time they are little. My best friend is like that. She’s wanted to be a vet since we were in elementary school, and now decades later, she’s going to vet school. I have no doubt that being

Family Admiration
Tweet Admiring one person fully is very difficult. There are many people I admire for different reasons, and I’d like to think that I can pick in choose the things I admire in all of them to help better myself. I thought a lot about who I would write my post about this week, and

Forever Young
Tweet When I was in college, I was constantly running to some investment club, dashing to another group meeting, and then sliding into a dress and heels for a sorority function. My calendar was always packed, and I’ve come to realize that I wouldn’t want it any other way. These days, I have been busier
