If you could choose, what city would you most like to live/work in? Why?
Living in Los Angeles, is the perfect place for me right now. Overall, New York is the ultimate place to be for people in the magazine publishing industry; however, for the average person, New York can be a bit overwhelming (even for someone like myself, who has spent a great portion of her younger life in that location). With that said, Los Angeles is a great place to get a good start. It is indeed a big city, but has the properties of a larger suburban area. I found it really easy to get adjusted here. It's difficult to make friends here, but career-wise, it's great. And there are so many different areas in L.A. that there is a fit for everyone....
