Your future you will thank you.

In 2017 I left my first job out of college to move closer to my ailing mother but also to pursue my first opportunity in a career field I had dreamed of entering since I was eight years old. The surgery date, offer letter, and Bay Area apartment materialized in an instant. I thought, prayed, and discussed my options with close friends, mentors, and strangers on airplanes. It soon became clear to me that I was leaving everything behind for a future that I couldn’t wait to be immersed in it.
