Whats the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the letter V? Victory, vacation, view?
To AMS Promotions the first thing that comes to mind is our Talent Of The Month for April, Veena, from Melbourne, VIC.
A top-notch brand ambassador, promotional model and trade show host, she is professional, reliable and down right awesome. She is one of the most motivated and enthusiastic people we know.
So, we sat down with her and found out what really makes Veena this motivational and enthusiastic promotional genius.
What is your definition of success?
For me, success is reaching a state of fulfilment and contentment in life, where you live the life you want rather than the life you settle for.
Tell us something quirky most people don’t know about you?
I love cooking and trying out different cuisines at home, but I can’t repeat a dish that I’ve once made. I find new recipes every time I cook. It keeps me excited and I feel there’s so much to try out there that I just can’t miss out.
What do you love most about people?
I love that every person has a different life experience from my own. Every time I get to know someone, I learn or realise something new. When I get too comfortable in my own world, and then hear different perspectives and opinions, I feel enlightened.
Favourite social channel, and most disliked social channel?
Personally, I use Facebook the most mainly because I find a good mix of promo and modelling jobs through various groups or pages. It’s also been most useful for me to stay connected with people.
And I don’t particularly dislike any social channel, but the one I least use is Snapchat. Apart from some entertainment with filters I never really find the need to use it.
What is your life mantra, or quote you live by?
I truly believe hard work pays off. The quote I live by – Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.
What advice would you give to someone starting out in the promotional/modelling industry?
I would say good availability is key! Be flexible on dates, type of work and be quick to respond to opportunities. You’re automatically considered more reliable.
When you were a child what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a dietitian. I would read the health advice section in magazines, keep cutouts from them for future reference and enjoyed telling people what to eat. But on realizing that medical school and I didn’t get along really well, I had to deviate from my goal, but I still take a huge interest in nutrition and health. It’s something I can have long conversations about.
Where is your next holiday going to be?
I would love to visit Bali mainly for the pristine beaches, hidden waterfalls and splendid resorts! I’ve heard it’s a food haven too and can’t wait indulge in some of the best Balinese delights.
Thank you Veena for your ongoing awesomeness and we hope you fulfil your Bali holiday dream.
