This week, I start my full-time position as Emerging Technology Strategist at Allen & Gerritsen. It’s the end of one chapter in my life and the beginning of another. I decided got creative with YouTube Search Stories tool (made popular by Google’s Superbowl commercial) to recap the last few years of my life:
I would be nowhere without the wonderful mentors, friends and colleagues I had through the years, especially those who helped me with my job search. I want to take some time to thank them now.
Above and beyond everyone are my parents, who have supported me emotionally and financially my entire life. Thanks, Mom and Dad!
