After graduating college with a degree in TV and Radio Production, I packed up my life in NYC and moved to Los Angeles alone because that’s where dreams in TV are made. I didn’t know a soul, but within 7 days I found a beautiful apartment, bought a car, and landed my first job just around the corner from home. Still, navigating a new city wasn’t easy—and neither was working in TV. I bounced from freelance gigs to temp jobs just to keep the lights on. Eventually I returned to NYC to work for Viacom, then moved back to LA, then Atlanta, and later Nashville. Each time, I had to start over—find housing, build community, and figure life out all over again. It was lonely, uncertain, and at times terrifying. But it also taught me resilience, faith, and how to trust my ability to thrive anywhere. Moving taught me that starting over isn’t failure—it’s proof that you’re strong enough to begin again.
