Take the Initiative
When a young woman from Central Illinois decided to take a leap of faith and move nearly 1,000 miles from home, she had no idea the challenges and adventures that awaited her. 
As a kid, my parents told me that if you really want something, the best way to get it is by working hard and being honest. After working as a nanny in Long Island, I was ready to take my parents advice and began my career at Thomson Newspapers.
I was working in midtown Manhattan at One Penn Plaza, above the famous Penn Station and felt on top of the world! Thomson gave me so many opportunities to learn, travel, and grow. It was there I also learned the benefits of having a mentor and it has been something I’ve carried with me and become a mentor myself later in my career.
