Gratitude & credit to those who inspired, supported, & came before me
This section inspired by Amy Kuretsky.
There are many teachers, colleagues, and friends whose support, teachings, and generosity helped me launch my business. I have listed some of them below.
I believe in the power of connection and collaboration; collaborating with others is one of the personal and professional values I hold most dear. I think genuinely and empathetically caring for others can be a radical act. With that in mind I encourage you to think of success as something we all share in, rather than a competition or a finite resource.
The amazing people below helped me get to where I am today and regardless of where life takes us, I will be eternally grateful to them. Giving them credit costs nothing, but I hope empowers you to learn more about each of them and reflect on the people who shaped your career too!

Thank you to Kim Wensel whose professional coaching and example gave me the courage and skills I needed to launch my own business (and to realize it was really more than one business, and that that’s ok).
