I’d like to tell women and girls to find meaningful joy in whatever their path may be. I think we spend too much time and energy focusing on the next big thing and agonizing over reaching benchmarks on a perceived definition of success. There’s so much value, instead, on staying present. For me, the spark that fueled me was education, and, looking back on how I got here today, I cherish every moment. Once I started to seize every opportunity that came my way, and found inspiration in every conversation I had, I experienced a profound transformation in how I interacted with my job. When you actually love what you do, you have the privilege of following your instincts and trusting that you’ll end up where you belong and where you are most needed. I can’t imagine doing my work in any other way.
