She opens up about balancing her flourishing career with her education, managing public expectations, and her journey toward embracing imperfection. What struck me most was her wisdom beyond her years and her commitment to building genuine relationships while maintaining her authentic self. This conversation is a masterclass in navigating success while staying grounded in your values.
