Read on to discover 5 ways Nina-Marie Daniele maintains her fitness, along with photos that showcase her dedication.
1. She Worked Hard
Daniele worked hard to get to where she is. She talked about this in her post’s caption. “I quit my career as a comedy content and skits creator to pursue this dream of mine. 2 years ago I packed all my things and moved from California to Las Vegas to pursue a career for a job that didn’t exist! I didn’t make any money my first 9 months but I believed in my heart that this would pay off. My goal was to create a comedy style to sports interviews that allowed athletes to show their personalities through light hearted interviews and banter and very little sports talk. I wanted to add something different and really hoping that it would stick. Just to be nominated is a huge honor but it would mean the world if you guys voted for me! Thank you to everyone that has believed in me from the start and to everyone that has come along for the ride, I wouldn’t be here without you.”
