Hello LAITS,
Today is my last day as an STA, it has been quite a long journey. I still remember being interviewed by Valerie and Suloni in that conference room when I was on the verge of giving up my passion for design, but here I am now with 2 more years of design experience and successfully transitioned into tech. Literally a win-win.
I truly appreciate the guidance and support I received these 2 years from our team, these people are so freaking smart and kind it’s CRAZY!! I really hope this program lives on forever so future STAs and experience this blast. A big shoutout to the OGs – Abriella, Thuy, Maddy, and Valerie, you guys have been here since the very first day I can remember, hearing your stories and accomplishments really warms my heart. It has truly been a pleasure working with such a talented and genuine team, and I wish you all best luck for your future.
Some updates on my future plans, I will be joining a startup in New York called Lunchbox this summer and start grad school at Carnegie Mellon University during the fall. Please stay in touch, I will miss you all.
