FIVE YEARS.

I keep writing that and sitting back in my chair for a moment, because I genuinely cannot believe it.

Somewhere between the countries, the countdowns
to flights, the late nights before events, and the Duolingo Spanish I still haven’t mastered, five years happened. Long-service staff, FINALLY. I’ve earned the joke.

In 2021, one conversation with @terrikarelle quietly rerouted the rest of my career. I didn’t walk in looking for a five year chapter. I walked in curious, and I walked out with a role I didn’t fully understand yet, working alongside someone whose standards would end up reshaping mine.

@terrikarelle, you threw me into the deep end, and somewhere along the way I learned to swim, then to keep pace, then to anticipate the current before it turned.

21 countries later, and countless events. Working for you has never felt like working beneath someone. You built an environment where I could be autonomous, creative, and effective, where my comfort and growth were never an afterthought. Not every employer thinks that way. Not every leader remembers to. You did, and you still do, five years in.

I’m still amazed with each room we enter, and the stages you represent on. Each one different, but each one confirming the same thing, that I get to witness greatness up close and call it my job.

Thank you, @terrikarelle, for having me as part of your team. Thank you to the TKTribe for embracing me long ago. Thank you to your family for welcoming me into your world so fully. And thank you to you, for leading with kindness and excellence in the same breath, and for trusting me with the parts of your journey that the public never sees.

Here’s to five years, Madam President. God-willing, here’s to many more.

Part 3 because apparently the Chinese grandma era has no end. Eating with the seasons, soaking my feet, and not scrolling first thing in the morning are just a few of the TCM doctor habits that make me feel my best. The most powerful health habits are usually the least glamorous. Swipe through and save this one.
