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

I got my degree (and started my career) in politics. Turns out persuasion in government, policy and persuasion in creative industry are pretty damn similar. Either way, you're selling an idea.

Only need five: Kindest Human Meets Master Connector. 

Most treasured way you spent time in 2018?

What advice would you give someone who's leaving NYC and moving to a new city?
