Tweetable Quotes

"There's got to be other people out there that are feeling this or seeing this, and so I want to go out there and find them and start telling their stories."

"For me, it was this huge learning curve that I had to deal with. As far as you know, it's almost like that imposter syndrome, right, like you feel like, am I really doing this? Do I know what I'm doing?"

"There's a problem. And so about a month later, I quit my job, quit my career, and decided that I was going to take a career break, get an adult gap year, whatever you want to call it, and decided I was just going to go and do things that made me happy and brought me joy and centered that around my bucket list."
