Being a young professional yourself, how has the show helped you progress? (Haha) I don’t even know if I’ve had time to think about that! I have met so many people and made so many contacts, which gives me a huge base to build from. The possibilities are endless. I have the opportunity to do what I want, whether it’s clothing and accessories, opening my own store or working for someone else to learn more about the industry.
What do you think about staying here versus relocating to a big city? Baton Rouge and New Orleans certainly have the opportunities, it’s just a matter of it getting bigger and more people being interested. I would almost rather stay in this area because I would be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond. Who’s to say I can’t stay here and sell outside of the state? It’s just a matter of do I want to start here or do I want to work for someone bigger then come back.
