Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Advertising is not an honorable profession. Too risky. Too competitive of a field.
How I responded:
You have to follow your passions. It might not work out, but If you don't try, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
