For the longest time, I was extremely unhappy with my career path. I felt unaccomplished and stagnant. I felt like I wasted time, money and energy by furthering my education and getting a degree. The only fruit I saw from my degree was the amount of debt that I have piled up. In 2020 my life change drastically – I experience episodes of chronic depression for 16 months all while being furloughed from my job. I used that time as wisely as I knew how by applying for hundreds of jobs. Who would have thought that not getting a call back from any of those jobs would cause me to go into a downward spiral that negatively impacted my confidence and self-esteem. There were times I felt hopeless and lost – I questioned the plan God had for my life and the purpose behind getting a degree. I was literally jobless and continuously receiving that wonderful “Thank you for applying, but…” email. In 2021, after returning to my previous position, I decided to apply for a new position within my organization and was denied because I did not have the experience and qualifications needed. A week or so later, that same department announced an entry level position and I was presented with the opportunity. Full of discouragement, low confidence and doubt I reluctantly accepted the position and had an ounce of hope that things will begin to turn in the right direction. I encouraged myself by telling myself, “Welp, at this point, I can only move up.” I say all of that to say – when something is crafted for YOU, God will make sure you find your way to what he has already claimed YOURS. Nine months later, I was promoted to the role that I applied to and did not qualify for or had the experience for. Who would of thought, but God? I am encouraged and excited to tell you that there is truly a bright light at the end of each dark tunnel, no matter how scary it may seem.

Only God knew that He did all of this to prepare to be named one of the 30 Recipients for Destination International 30 Under 30! I want to take this time to share my nomination video as an encouragement to you – No matter what, just KEEP GOING!

With Much Love,
