Our featured #dreamdriver is Shantel Mendez, aspiring actor, model and practicing personal trainer.
What stage are you currently in? (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE)
Drive! I recently quit my office job in the city to pursue acting and modeling. I also used my passion for fitness to generate income for myself by becoming a personal trainer and motivator.
What’s your dream?
My dream is to use my platform as a model and actress to create an organization that builds schools in villages in third world countries. The curriculum would focus on mentality and identity, something I feel the school system is missing.
Why is this so important to you?
It’s my dream to empower others to create their own realities.
What keeps you going when you feel like giving up?
Knowing that my dream is a lot bigger than myself.

What advice do you have for other dream drivers?
Commit to your vision and then figure out all the details! Don’t wait for the perfect time, it will never come. Just commit. If you spend too much time thinking how you’re going to get it done, doubt and insecurity will kick in and you will sabotage yourself in a subtle manner.
