I'm so happy to welcome Michelle Krul to JOY Life Podcast as part of our Young Professional JOY Seekers Series! Michelle shares her experience as a young professional and making choices to focus on doing what she loves. As a twenty-something, like many others, she felt drawn in different directions. Rather than try to fit a mold, Michelle lives by the motto of playing it by ear. By being open to various opportunities, Michelle has been able to use her skills and interests to guide her to finding a career that best fits her rather than changing herself to fit a job description. Michelle has such a positive outlook on her life and exudes that throughout our conversation. Enjoy today's Young Professional #TuesdayTalk with Michelle Krul.
