Shoutout to the admissions officer who read my story and gave me the chance to change my life. Shoutout to the boss who took a chance on me for my first internship and helped me break into tech. Shoutout to the recruiter who believed in me for my first software engineering role, that’s when I realized I could actually build. Shoutout to the boys who let me join their startup and gave me the confidence to call myself an entrepreneur. Shoutout to the designer who invited me to my first fashion week (the moment I found my way into fashion). Shoutout to the first brand that trusted me with a partnership which started the beginning of my journey as a creator. Shoutout to my manager, Kaitlyn, who saw my potential and helped me turn it into a career. I’ve accomplished so much during college, but none of it would’ve been possible if no one gave me a shot. I was just a girl with potential and these people helped me grow into the woman I am today. To anyone reading this, give the inexperienced noob a chance. Peace Columbia ✌️
