Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
I grew up in the small village of Bethalto, Illinois, where breaking the mold was discouraged.
2.
Everyone expected me to go to the local college, but I chose to attend Illinois State University.
3.
While in college, I took a job at Taco Bell as a food champion.
4.
That job helped me save up for my dream: to move to L.A. and work in the film industry.
5.
Taco Bell also helped me build up a lot of the confidence that I’d lost somewhere along the way.
6.
After graduating from ISU, I drove out to Los Angeles, fulfilling one half of my dream.
7.
I now work at Deluxe in the post-production stage of the film industry.
8.
I think my path is proof that no dream is too big, and no job is too small.
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
If you’re strong enough, you don’t need medication.
How I responded:
Growing up, I struggled with anxiety and depression, but was always discouraged from seeking help. People in my town tended to believe that if you were “strong enough,” you didn’t need medication. However, once I got to college and sought professional treatment, everything opened up in front of me—it changed everything for the better. Never be afraid to ask for help.
