As I wrap up my final days at LinkedIn. I am sad and extremely excited to let everyone know that I will be completing my LinkedIn career to be a Senior Transformation Consultant at a company called CoachHub.

I want to acknowledge these 100 people at LinkedIn who have impacted my life whether you know or not. I would like to share with you how you have made a difference in my life.

1. Garrett Rafols– From onboarding to the times I’ve called you crying- I’m so happy that we finally started working together. Your referral means the world to me as I was finally able to work at my dream company since I was a high school senior. LinkedIn was everything I had thought and so much more.

2. Rosanna Durrthy– Your leadership and passion for building an inclusive workplace have inspired me to speak my truth, create space for others, and ultimately challenge the status quo.

3. Kartapurkh Khalsa– It’s no surprise to me that you won Manager of the Year. I’ve been so blessed to have your support, especially during those days when I felt out of it. You gave me the space to relax and wind down, which can be challenging during a pandemic, as you’ve helped me with some of my mental health needs. We’ve had many conversations around growth and self-exploration. You’ve pushed me to be more of a professional and look at respecting other’s boundaries.

4. Olivia Orr- Thank you so much for all that you do for LinkedIn. My physical and emotional well-being has greatly improved since I’ve joined LinkedIn.
