Já fazem 30 dias que retornei… e preciso confessar que ainda sigo absorvendo tudo o que vivi. Uma visão transformada e a certeza de que levarei essa experiência comigo para sempre! 🎯

Harvard me ensinou sobre gestão pública, mas também sobre sonhos grandes, disciplina e coragem.

E se eu pudesse deixar uma mensagem aqui, seria essa: diga sim ao crescimento, valorize todos que estão contigo na caminhada e tenha fé acima de tudo. A sua próxima grande conquista pode estar do outro lado da sua zona de conforto! 🙌🏻 #Harvard #GestãoPública #Aprendizado #Sonho #Disciplina #Coragem

Graduation Day from @harvard!

It’s been incredible being in Cambridge the last couple weeks completing the Senior Executives in State and Local Government program at the @harvardkennedyschool. I am excited to get home to Michigan and start applying all the knowledge gained!

Thank you so much to the LGBTQ+ @victoryfund David Bohnett Leaders Fellowship for making this possible. I’m deeply grateful for the chance to grow and strengthen my ability to serve our community.
