One year ago today, I left my internship at #YoungStorytellers and the city of Los Angeles to begin my post-grad life back in Menlo Park. Little did I know, God, the Universe, and Bill Thompson all work in mysterious ways. What happened instead of my [lack of a] plan is that this amazing organization took a chance on a smole bumbling college grad and I got to start my career working for the place that combined all of my passions: arts, service, and working with youth. Since then, I’ve met many many kids, trained dozens of volunteers, learned some graphic design, helped design a workshop, and gotten to work with amazing people who are passionate about storytelling with a huge heart to serve. I have grown immensely from who I was a year ago and am ABSOFRUITLY ecstatic to keep growing while I shift my role to focus on the aspects of my job that I am truly the most passionate about as the Training and Curriculum Specialist at Young Storytellers! A million thanks to my wonderful YS community who reminds me daily why we do what we do. I don’t know where this journey will take me but I know I’m off to a good start 🌝 . . . #HMappreciationdinner #staffphoto #silly #happy #dreamjob #oldstorytellers #oneyearlater (at Taste on Melrose) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLLPo0l71tHKgvt7k-KnyV-A2gJaqQEFeT3tU0/?igshid=18df6caljstnb
