Significant professional accomplishment: Becoming an employer at the age of 24 at the same time as taking on a new role in a blue-tech startup. Becoming an employer and an employee at the same time was exciting and overwhelming and while my farm grows great oysters, it has truly been a vehicle to employ and empower other young women who aspire to work on the water. Being able to be a small piece of their journey and watching these women grow and overcome challenges has been one of the most inspiring things in my life.
