Say Hello: @aishaemerald

Tell me something about yourself that people in your chosen industry would find interesting.

I hate the term "networking." I love meeting smart, interesting, creative people and taking the time to get to know them. Relationships that have developed out of shared curiosities and interests are some of the most rewarding in my life, whether personal, professional or a mix of both. 

Tell me about how you met Nur?

I met Nur through Translation but once we got the chance to get to know each other we quickly formed a bond bigger than work. I was intimidated at first but quickly realized what a warm, thoughtful and caring person she is. Translation was a crazy place but I'm thankful it brought us together.

Most treasured way you spent time in 2018?

Deepening relationships with people I love, whether traveling together, sharing a meal or even just taking a walk and talking about life. 

What advice would you give someone who's leaving NYC?

Remember how big and crazy an idea it was to move to New York in the first place. Trust that you're capable of conquering any other city and know that New York will always be here for you.
