I have personally grown so much as a lead under your guidance and support. You saw things in me that I didn’t see in myself. You took the time to learn about me, my background, and my story, and how all of those things impact me as a person for the good, the bad, and the ugly.

You taught me to take those areas of weakness, and turn them into something powerful, and beautiful.

After years of dulled sparkle, you helped bring that back for me, and for that I am forever grateful to you.
