“ I have become a better coach, social worker, and overall person because of you. You have pushed me beyond the limitations I have set for myself and have never allowed me to sit in a place of comfort. You have always been an ear to listen to and a shoulder to cry on for support. I have never felt so seen, heard, and valued by anyone I have worked under, and you have forever stamped an imprint on my career and my life. Your contributions do not go unnoticed, and your impact on my life is felt in every way beyond my career. Thank you for always being there and for never allowing me to remain in my bubble of comfort. Thank you for always pushing me to stir the pot. I will continue to stir the pot and think of you in those moments, whether I should or should not ask a question. You'll be in the back of my mind. The pot will continue to be on the stove, ready to be stirred when necessary. ”
