I can’t believe the last few months are real, and they will leave an indelible impact on who I am as a person. So grateful.

I cannot take any personal guarantee of what these roles will lead to, of course, so please consider me merely a conduit! If you find these updates useful, consider buying me a coffee (since I need a fair amount to keep up with this!)
