we’d love to believe that experience alone leads to the perfect opportunities.

my career has been aided at every turn by managers, colleagues, friends, acquaintances, and even virtual strangers. that help – whether it was an email introduction or a full mentorship – deserves acknowledgment. the gratitude I feel for those who have hired, believed in, encouraged, and taken a chance on me is endless. Check out their work below. these are the people who go out on a limb and put their faith in you, even if you've only got a little to show for yourself.
