My life changing moment was when I decided to quit grad school and forgoe my degree in architecture to move to New York to pursue a career in modeling and acting. It was my first time living on my own and away from my family. I had little money, did not know a soul in the City, and had no idea where to begin. I was absolutely terrified and lost, and sometimes emotionally drained. To this day, I’m still uncertain about my future.
