What moving 3,000 miles away taught me about my life and career
1hr
During the pandemic, everyone faced their own challenges, and I was no exception. It became clear to me that I needed to make a change. Over the last few years, I moved from California to Alaska, navigating difficulties with my job, family, and friends. Fast forward a bit, and I found myself rebooting my career, starting a family, and eventually moving back to California. The journey was a whirlwind, but it taught me so much, both professionally and personally, that I'd like to share with you during this talk.
