Being a 90’s kids: Growing up meant that Sesame Street taught me: empathy, the value of education, and the importance of being kind. However: Bugs Bunny taught me that revenge should be brutal, clever, and quick.

What’s in a decade? Today is my 10th anniversary living and working in DC. 10 years ago my mom dropped me off with no job and a barely-paid internship. It has been a wild ride, and I want to thank all of my friends and family for all the support! Cheers to 10 years!
