Okay, this isn’t easy to write. I’m a woman and as such, age is one of those things we hate to talk about.

I worked in fashion retail, took acting classes and completed a course in fashion buying and merchandising. I ended up working for a really great start-up clothing company and could see myself growing with their brand…but I still wasn’t happy.
