Evolution is joy.

Though I have not always known my path, I have always known my purpose: creating a meaningful difference in the world. Whatever I touch, I must leave it better than I found it.

While that requires working with passionate, like-minded people, it conflicts with my fierce independence and finding deep comfort in solitude, grappling with a complex challenge.

That's one reason that I enjoyed studying and practicing the law, a profession where you go deep within to solve challenges for others. That's also why I chose to work with a legal-tech startup at the beginning of my career when more traditional options were available.
I have always wanted more from life than just making a living, and I will not be content being just a cog in a wheel. I need to make a genuine impact, and I live for that sense of purpose.

This powerful quote by Michelle Obama resonates deeply with me:
"For me, becoming isn't about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn't end."

Coming from such a different world, joining DevRev is almost like starting a new career and a chance to throw myself into things I haven't done before. It's such a rare opportunity to have the 'roll up your sleeves,' hacky startup energy combined with the wealth of experience and big-picture thinking that our founders bring.

I'm immensely grateful for the challenges and opportunities to learn that DevRev offers, and I am honored to be embarking on this journey with the team here. It's been amazing to discover how quickly trust develops when interactions are authentic and empathetic, despite never meeting each other!
