My ultimate goal is to be in a position where I am trusted with someone’s story and able to say that I handled their affairs with grace, dignity, and respect. Through it all, I aim to remain a person who can hold space for other people’s stories, format them in a way that communicates empathy and connection, and reminds them that they too, with all of their stuff, are a beautiful part of the human experience.
