Interview Highlights

“I was always listening to podcasts, always reading health books, kind of being my own health detective. And so in that experience of over a decade of just trying to help myself get better and feel better, I learned so much about health and wellness and the wellness space and things that you wouldn’t necessarily learn if you went to school to become a registered dietician or any of those traditional paths. And so it, it kind of just became a lifelong passion of mine and it is health and wellness is so integral into my life because it’s how I’ve been able to live the life that I want.”

Career Challenge

“After about six months of multiple interviews with frankly, mostly men like older men, I quickly realized that I don’t know if this city is the right market for a young female engineer and especially environmental engineering. Like they’re very industry heavy in, in Utah, which is awesome, but they just don’t have a lot of great environmental positions open. At least it didn’t when I was there. So, you know, six months of kind of just like putting out your resume, applying to multiple jobs a day, going to interviews, not getting the job, like wondering what you did wrong, like, you know, kind of questioning your entire career path of going to a good college and getting a good degree.”
