I was a barista here in Miami prior to getting my license. I love coffee and the craft behind it. Plus I loved getting to talk and meet so many interesting people.

Dubuque, Iowa.

As a child I was obsessed with all things art. I always thought I would be an artist or an interior designer.

My absolute favorite way to relax is hot yoga. Working out in a room set to 90 degrees is the best way to decompress and there are so many interesting studios here in Miami.

I would love to meet the artist Pablo Picasso. When I was younger most of my art was inspired by his work, specifically his blue and rose periods.

As someone who loves art, I have to say Superblue. The immersive take on art is so interesting and unique.

I love project developments and being behind the scenes of these new buildings. In the future I hope to work on these development teams.

The hardest part of this industry is starting. For a while, you are consistently working to set up a foundation without seeing any reward. You really have to trust in yourself and keep going. Once you take that initial leap of faith, there is no challenge that cannot be solved.

You have to stay consistent. The more you talk to people the more likely you will receive a response.

Currently, I am watching Million Dollar Listing New York. I love to obsess over city and skyline views.

PLANTA in Miami Beach has to be my favorite. As a vegan, I am a sucker for restaurants that are completely plant based. Plus they have some really interesting drinks.

The Waldorf Astoria. I absolutely love how the downtown location allows for stunning views. Not to mention the 10′ floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for these dramatic views.

I have moved two times by myself at age 18 and 19. The most impressive was when I moved to Bologna, Italy, at just 19 and did not speak Italian. The experience was amazing, and I wouldn’t have changed it for anything.

Italy. Amazing food, stunning views and a beautiful language.

@peterjancona, he is a great mentor.
