New York is notorious for being the city of opportunity. My mom (I call her Meatloaf) told me the last time I was in the city that I would have to hustle to get here. 7 years later and I’m ready to hustle, network, and learn.

How I Prepared:

• Researched industry trends and each agency.
  
• Developed thoughtful questions and insights.
  
• Updated my portfolio.
  
• Bought a blazer.
