8. A jewelry teacher gave her some advice that has stuck with her:
"A jewelry teacher once told me 'If you don't have time to do it correctly, when are you going to have time to fix it?' I've found it applies to all aspects of life! It's so important to take the time to execute carefully and correctly, otherwise, you're going to spend more time later trying to fix whatever issues have come up from rushing."
