Upper West Side, Manhattan / If you could go to anywhere in the world and spend a month, where would it be?

I was sitting on a bench, waiting for a friend to take a walk an autumn walk through Central Park, when my next interviewee came up to ask if I could take a photo of her with her camera. She had just moved to New York last week. Another things that I love about New York, but also scares me about New York is that no matter how new you think you are to the city, there are many more people even newer...

Question: If you could go to anywhere in the world and spend a month, where would it be?

Answer: Up next for me is Costa Rica, for the nature, the parks and the natural beauty.

Question: What will you be doing for the new year?

Chelsea, Manhattan / What event has most influenced you in choosing the career you have now?

Another favorite thing about this city...dogs are everywhere! And I LOVE dogs! I struck up a conversation with my next interviewee over her very sweet papillon, Tufani.

Question: What event has most influenced you in choosing the career you have now?

Answer: I'm a lawyer now. When I was little, I wanted to be an artist. My parents wanted me to get a profession. Parents  hammer into you that you need a practical career. So, my artistic career got swapped for a legal career, which I've been doing for 28 years. Intellectual property law is very tedious, but it's a way to get into the more creative.
