Talia’s Career Stories
How did you pick your career? Did you know all along?
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I entered college. I knew I liked psychology, and decided on that degree path. Unfortunately I listened to the advice of family who did not steer me in the right direction. I have learned many lessons across my career and discovered what I truly love to do.
What is the one piece of career advice you wish someone gave you when you were younger?
Don't listen to your family. You need to find mentors in the field you want to enter and listen to their advice, instead. Follow your own path and your own dream.
