What are some unusual jobs you've had in the past?
In college, I needed a part-time job, so I got a position at Hollister in New York City. I struggled with folding clothes, so they assigned me as the greeter by the door. My instructions were to dance around and smile for eight hours. I lasted about three days before the excitement faded, and I found myself craving something new.
What was the first concert you went to?
My older cousin sneaked my other cousin and me into a club to meet our favorite Canadian singer, Raghav. We pretended to be twins and claimed it was our birthday to gain access to see him backstage. Sadly, we were disappointed by his lackluster personality. They say to never meet your heroes!
If we went to happy hour, what would you order?
Water for everyone, and a Manhattan if it's cold out, or a Margarita if it's sunny :)
