Life & Career Milestones

I've taken a lot of twists and turns

  • 1.

    Was open to anything and everything.

  • 2.

    Realized that what mattered most was a job that was fun, where I could learn something.

  • 3.

    I also realized that pay was not my top priority--fun and learning mattered most.

  • 4.

    I listened to people who recommended jobs, tasks, roles for me and I tried them all out.

  • 5.

    Every job I have had was because someone else recommended me.

  • 6.

    I continue to stay open to calls from recruiters.
