Author Brene Brown - her books inspire me to "dare greatly".

I am sent on assignments just like guys. I have covered presidential campaigns, natural disasters, tragedies, red carpets, medical stories and more.

Politics is quite draining. There are so many heated discussions and press conferences to cover during a convention.

Sure, there are times when the guys talk about playing football in school and I can't relate to that, but I can relate to being a female athlete. And as long as you are prepared, work hard and know your stuff, you will be fine.

Michelle Tafoya - best NFL sideline reporter - period. She is always prepared and professional.

Do good work and let that speak for itself. Don't waste time arguing with someone. Instead, show them in your work. That's easier said than done, but it really is the best solution. No one can argue with good work.

My work speaks for itself.
