🤗 It's hard to get into @Google, but even harder to leave Google! 👋 After seven incredible years, I bid farewell to my Google family. The experience exceeded every expectation I had dreamed of since childhood. 🤓 Reflecting on this journey, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the growth, opportunities, and memories I've made. While words can't fully capture this experience, I'm sharing some highlights here with you.

🥳 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑪𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝑵𝒊𝒏𝒆: I joined @googlecloud as a Customer Engineer in 2017, when it was just taking off. The team trusted me with my skills to work with some of the biggest customers, teaching me one of the most valuable lessons: "The most effective way to do it, is to do it." In 2019, I discovered my passion for Developer Relations through a 20% project. This new path captivated me, leading me from small events to stages with 20k+ developers. Looking back, I'm proud of my extraordinary journey and growth.

👩‍🏫 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔: I had the privilege of working alongside and learning from industry giants. @ThomasOrTK's leadership in growing a business to profitability has been a masterclass I've had the privilege to study closely. I know I'll be applying these lessons in my future endeavors. Kelsey Hightower and Eric Brewer became my technical heroes, graciously mentoring me on numerous occasions, shaping both my technical skills and career direction.

🫠 𝑼𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔: The opportunity to present Code Assist demo at Google Cloud NEXT 2023 alongside @CalderBrad tops my list. I had the privilege of working on groundbreaking AI product launches with an incredible team. Leaders like @retomeier, Keith Ballinger, @rseroter, Matt Thompson, @ankurkotwal, @gabemonroy, @gerritkazmaier and @andigutmans trusted me with storytelling for major launches such as Vertex AI, Gemini Code, and Cloud Assist.

🙏 To my Google family – thank you for embracing my ideas, trusting me with crucial projects, and being the best colleagues one could ask for. As I close this chapter, I'm filled with excitement for what's next. Rest assured that my next adventure will be nothing short of awesome. Stay tuned!
