The Beginning

The reality is, I still don't believe it's happening! How'd I obtain this opportunity?

At the brink of one of my most difficult life moments, I got a call from Nike that I got the job. Funny, I actually missed the original call and I still have that message saved!

I had just returned from a 5 month trip to London. A trip most needed; the economy wasn't looking any prettier than now and I wanted a change of scenery. Back and ready to work, I still remember sitting at home in the Bronx, in front my computer, applying for job after job.

The thing is, I knew this job would be the perfect fit for me. I have a huge desire to talk to people, I am naturally curious and on the go and I don't take no for an answer. (Unless it's from my mother,father or boss) Oh yeah, and I also happen to be a huge sports fan!

Thus far, I've had a ridiculously fun time working on my intro video and photo shoot. Nike really hooked me up with a talented production crew! It was refreshing to hit up all the old spots with the friends and family who have shaped the person I am today. Sadly, even now at 23 years of age, I was reminded my father can still kick my butt at basketball during a friendly pick up game during the shoot.

So are you wondering who my first interview is? Serena Williams. Yes, way to break the ice huh!

Check back to see that interview and many more.
