WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AT NOLIA ROOTS AND WHAT DO YOU DO?

My role in Nolia Roots is the Graphic Design Intern role. I will be assisting with any design needs and providing ideas for business to make them stand out.

WHAT’S YOUR GREATEST MOMENT — WHETHER IN WORK, SCHOOL, OR BUSINESS — SO FAR?

One of my greatest moments would have to be my promotion at my job, Starbucks. It sucks that I am leaving the company, but I think me being promoted was one of my favorite achievements.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR JOB?/WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED FOR?

I am mostly excited about learning new materials and familiarizing myself with an actual business, gaining the experience as a professional and being able to utilize my skill for other people’s needs.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?

My support systems motivate me, one of them being my boyfriend. He has supported me with everything and I wouldn’t be as strong and motivated as I am today without him.

WHO DO YOU LOVE TO FOLLOW ON TWITTER OR INSTAGRAM AND WHY?

On Instagram, I love following other Graphic Designers. I like to have that itch to want to create something and put it out there to the world. As for Twitter…I don’t like twitter.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY?

My favorite piece of technology that I own right now is my PC set up. I love gaming, so, my PC is one of my safe-havens.

WHAT’S ONE APP OR GADGET YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE INVENTED?

I think a little teleportation chip that we could connect to our phones via Bluetooth would be an amazing gadget. Cars, buses, anything that has gases and chemicals are horrible for the environment and creates pollution. However, we need an even quicker way to travel to different locations without delays, traffic, vehicle breakdowns, high gas prices, and increased carfare. That gadget will transport you to wherever you need to go in a matter of seconds.

WHERE CAN SOMEONE FIND YOU ON A DAY YOU’RE NOT AT SCHOOL OR WORK?

You will most likely find me at home or with my boyfriend.

WHAT’S THE BEST BOOK YOU’VE READ RECENTLY?

I have not read any books recently!

WHAT ARE YOUR PODCAST RECOMMENDATIONS?

I would say the one podcast that I want to get into more is called Iilluminaughtii. It’s on Spotify and the narrator debunks bad business habits and pyramid schemes in bad businesses. All business related things!

WHAT’S ONE THING YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT?

I cannot live without technology. I know that is a very cliche answer, but technology has allowed me to learn so many new things and try out so many new hobbies.

WHAT’S THE MOST INTERESTING ITEM ON YOUR DESK?

My most interesting item on my desk is my Nintendo Switch. It’s really cute because it’s the Animal Crossing edition Switch. It’s one of the things that stand out on my desk, which makes it interesting to me.
