7 | Bossfidence is all about finding your bliss and building your confidence, how did you know that you needed to branch out from your comfort zone?

After graduating college, I realized I was in such a boring routine. I needed to spice up my life. Working 40+ hours, being involved in networking groups, exercising at OTF, hanging out with Jackson, traveling, and watching Netflix was my weekly routine. I was craving for a much larger desire. I knew I had to create something of my own.

8 | Who is your biggest influencer or inspiration?

Taylor Swift
