My exceptional person!!

The person that fits my realm of professionalism that is the most exceptional is Victoria Monsul. She was our latest speaker at one of the Hofstra Design lectures. It just so happened that she became more than just a presenter to me.
After her lecture presentation, we drove back to Brooklyn and spent an hour in traffic, getting to know each other. That went so well that we decided to go out to dinner!
We went to "Wild Ginger" on Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg, a vegan pan asian restaurant that is super well known. We were starving and wanted to keep talking so...

We spoke for another two hours! Victoria is amazing. She and I have a very rare connection; our energies flow, and this is rare for me. We think alike, have similar mindsets, pasts, views on life, etc.
It literally felt like we'd been best friends for years.

Victoria is currently the director of Wix Lounge in Manhattan. This job is very hectic and full of oppurtunities. Before she got this amazing gig, she had many jobs.
(Some by just ringing her bell ;) )

After graduating from Pratt Institute in 2007, she interned at Film Comapny Prodcution. Then, she was a design assistant for Centerpoint, a publicity fields intern for SONY, a photographer assistant for Jason Szenes, an assistant to contemporary artist Nir Hod, a creative coordinator for Mother Industries, a production assistant for Art + Commerce/IMG, an apprentice for Fleurs Bell, Freelance Jr Designer, and then an assistant manager to Silent Touch Productions. She did this all from 2003-2010. In seven years, she accumulated more expereince than some do in a life time!

Her presentation and our dinner conversation gave me added insight on how to become as professional and successful as her. A few points she had specifically were to stay focused, be authentic, show flexibility, and to not be afraid to make mistakes!

I know I've make a strong connection in New York City through Victoria and I'm lucky for that. But, I think it is more because we get along so well! I've made a new friend. I think Victoria Monsul is quite exquesite, intelligent, and a fantastic person and professional. Kisses Vicki ;)
