This week I sat down with Aylin Daniela Benavides or Dani. Dani is studying industrial design at Emily Carr. She has had a very close relationship with hard work all of her life and we sat down to talk about it. The trials and tribulations she has gone through on her journey from Costa Rica to Houston and then on to Vancouver are a testament to the power of work ethic and drive. I hope you all enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
