I started as an NBC Page. The program has always been competitive but now it’s another level. I remember going to the site, uploading my resume, and sending it to the Universe. I honestly forgot about it. A few months later got a phone call from their recruitment office and the rest is history. I…

My father was a business owner. He owned two restaurants and he was also a car salesman. When I was in high school, I worked at the restaurant. I helped my mom and I understood everything she was doing. Some things I would point out, like, “Hey Mom, I think you missed that” or even…

Can we talk about nail polish for a moment? I used to buy one every, single week. It was pathetic. When I first moved to NYC, my internship only gave us $10 a day for lunch. Which meant my mom and dad were paying my rent. Which meant that any money I made from working…
