What's your idea of a perfect Monday morning?
Waking up early, heading to the gym and then head to work.

In ten years, I want to be:
Editor of a well-established magazine that focuses on fashion, music, and all things pop culture...

What do you wish you'd learned sooner?
So far, I'd have to say I've learned everything at a very even pace. My ambition and dedication is strong and my passion for writting is even stronger.

Describe your dream assignment
In college, I envisioned myself working for a well-established entertainment magazine sitting across Stevie Nicks interviewing her over a cup of tea. It's still a dream of mine, but I’d like to add the adventure of visiting exotic and unique destinations.

What book is on your nightstand right now?
Honestly, I have a stack of entertainment, fashion and travel magazines on my nightstand. My thoughts are always on writing and I'm inspired by other writers.

What's the hardest work project you've ever tackled?
Learning how to pitch unique story ideas to large and established publications. I can see how freelancing can be a full-time job.

What's the best job you've ever had?
So far, becoming editor of Bakersfield Life magaine in Bakersfield, Calif.I've been able to get my feet wet, develop strong contacts and have fun at the same time.

What's your idea of a perfect Saturday night?
I have to be out. I have to be social.
