Imposter syndrome showed up hard this weekend at Engage. Five years into this business, standing in rooms filled with people I’ve admired for so long, I felt small for a moment.
But what surprised me most? How welcoming, generous, and open everyone was.
Five years ago, I was let go from my event producer role in tech due to COVID. What felt like a setback became my silver lining — the push I needed to build something of my own. Being part of this industry is everything I once dreamed of, and I know I’m still unfolding. I can’t wait to see where this business takes me next.
I left my first Engage Summit feeling inspired, energized, and so grateful — with new perspective, fresh motivation, and talented friends I’m thankful to now call peers.
Huge thank you to Leah from for encouraging me to go 🤍. Sometimes all it takes is someone believing in you before you fully believe in yourself.
Endless appreciation to for bringing 25 ✨ to life.
