Future film director
"Yeah , the career I wanted when I was young was to be a film director, to make movies. And I still that's still sort of where I'm pushing towards. These days, I am a freelance writer. Um , I write scripts for a lot of people and I make my own content. So I'm getting ever closer to that dream, and it feels attainable . But you know , one day. Um, up until that I've been a cook for 10 years, so that would be my technical trade, but I don't currently work as a cook "

Who wouldn't want to be a motorcycle man?
"Seeing as children don't necessarily know what careers even are, I did not make the best decision for what I wanted my future career to be, which was a motorcycle man. But that was when I was very young. Now, I'm just a student and in between things."

From the runway to the reading room
"What career did you want when you were younger, and what do you do now? Well, when I was younger all I wanted to do is be an actress and a model. I wanted to do anything that was creative, on-stage performance, and I just thought that would be the coolest thing. And actually, I fulfilled a lot of it. I did a lot of acting and modeling and it was fun and cool. It was a dream come true. And now I've changed and I am a proof reader, kind of like an editor for articles, so that's pretty cool, too. I like that also."

From fireman to voiceover actor
"When I was young, I wanted to be a fireman. I figured I'd known some. It's a very heroic role, and you want to make a difference. But I found at an early age that I was able to do voices really well. And now since I do over 150 of them, I decided to pursue my dream and I got into voice overs. So now I record and narrate for clients all around the world. I love it. It almost, it doesn't really seem like a job, so I hope to be doing that for a real long time."

Childhood work aspirations can come true
"Well, I have always wanted to make movies ever since I was a kid. And right now I'm a editor, a video editor, so I'm not that far. There's a lot to go, but I'm not as far off what I wanted to do when I was a kid."

One of three childhood dreams came true
"When I was younger, I either wanted to be a ballet dancer, an actress, or a model. Now that I'm 26 years old, I'm actually a voiceover artist. So I am still technically doing the acting in some of my work, but I'm not doing the dancing and I'm definitely not doing any of the modeling."

From a nun to a nurse
"So when I was really little, I kept on telling my parents that I wanted to be a nun. Um, which was influenced by my obsession with the movie The Sound of Music, and I just wanted to be Maria when I grew up. Um, yeah, that didn't happen. I'm not a nun. I'm actually going back to school to become a nurse. So that's how that worked out."
