Soledad’s Thoughts…
ON FREE TIME
In my time off, my favorite way to relax is going to a hot yoga class.
ON TECH
One piece of tech I cannot live without is my fitbit. Why walk if you aren’t getting credit for it?
ON STYLE
My go-to outfit for an important interview is a fabulous and expensive grey Carolina Herrera suit.
ON ROAD TRIPS
I’d love to go on a road trip through the Hudson Valley and see the leaves turn.
ON PHONES
If someone went through my phone they would be surprised to find an absurd number of selfies where I think I look cute.
ON FIRST JOBS
My first dollar was from mucking stalls at 13 years old and I spent it on riding lessons.
ON ADVICE
Here’s some advice I wish I got. Live every week like its mardi gras: enjoy the fun, don’t drink too much, and remember you have to be at work in the morning.
“I really like telling stories, I’m nosy, and I always ask people “well, why?” I think there are so many interesting stories to tell and often we ignore a lot of the stories about people who aren’t covered in the mainstream media.”
