We asked Addison...
If I weren't so good at my job, I'd probably be...A rich housewife. Or an anthropologist. I always wanted to work in anthropology but the pragmatic side of me thought it would be too hard to find steady work.
What are you happiest doing when you're not working?Reading and hanging with me kids.
What is the best advice you can give someone who just started their career?Don't be afraid to speak up! If you're quiet and complacent everyone around you will excel and you will become comfortable. If you're worth it, fight for it. You'll never make it to the top if you don't strive for it. The worst they can say is "no".
Who or what inspired you to pursue this career?My dad. He opened a business when I was younger and needed a business manager and finance manager, so I learned the trade.
