I wouldn't be where I am today without the strong bond I share with Travis. It has helped me grow stronger, more resilient, and wiser, while teaching me the importance of teamwork, loyalty, patience, and empathy. It's fitting that I found fulfillment in my career in the City of Brotherly Love, as I understand the significance of that kind of relationship all too well.
In conclusion, I want to express my gratitude to the city of Philadelphia.
