Ten. It’s a milestone that I am incredibly proud to share. Every day I’m grateful to have poured my heart and soul into Apple. The journey has been one I could never have dreamed of. Consistently bringing forth exciting opportunities as well as challenges to be solved. When I first joined Apple, I never thought I’d spend a whole decade here. But these past ten years have been the best of my career. I’ve grown and stretched as an event professional in ways I never thought possible. It takes a lot of grit, determination, and staying curious to make it through. You have to keep thinking differently, be open to the debate, and stay humble along the way. Most days were good, some were insanely great, and a few were, well, let’s just say they were a bit overwhelming. To those who I have had the privilege of working alongside, I continue to be impressed by your intelligence, your collaborative spirit, and your passion for creating only the best. To my family and friends who’ve supported me, thank you for being there with me through it all. I’m excited for what the future holds and I hope the next ten years bring me just as much joy as the last. And to my first manager at Apple, Christophe Callaud, who brought me into Apple for this crazy ride - thank you for giving me an opportunity of a lifetime. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You changed this small-town girl’s life for the better, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
