Started from the bottom, now we here 🙌
In 2011, my senior year of high school, I was named a Standout Graduate by my local newspaper. At that time, I knew I had amazing potential, but had no idea where life would take me.
In December 2024, I was honored to be awarded the Young Citizen of the Year award from and for my work and impact at and in the Treasure Valley community! 🥳
Immensely grateful for all the support, encouragement, and recognition. This also came at a very pivotal moment, after my dad passed unexpectedly on October 1st, 2024. Grief has a way of shifting everything. And yet, somehow, it also gave me clarity about what's truly important and the drive to always aim higher. I accepted this award with tears in my eyes, thinking of my dad...because I knew he would've been so proud.
When I transitioned careers from teaching in late 2022, I never imagined I'd go this hard at my new job. In just a little over two years, I have leveled up, gained new skills, and have achieved things I didn't expect. Life has a funny way of bringing what you need to you at exactly the right time.
Career transitions aren't easy. They require faith, grit, and a willingness to start again - sometimes when you're already carrying a lot. But they're worth it.
If you're in a season of transition, growth, or reinvention...keep going. The version of you that's waiting on the other side is worth meeting 🌱🌱
