Chiara advises that when it comes to trying something new, you must be willing to put in 110%. Don't let the unknown scare you. Trying something new, or starting a new job can be scary and daunting! But once you gain confidence and start believing in yourself, you till realise that being brave and putting yourself out there was the best thing that you could have done! Being risky will always pay off if you put in the hard work! Follow your heart and your instinct. If it makes you happy then you know you are on a path towards greatness. Chiara proves that it is never too late to change the direction you are going in and chase your dream. Chiara's Triple Love Round Answers:A magazine she loves: Vogue Japan!
