In 2015 as I walked into the parking lot of JPL after my job interview for Assistant Director, I found a tick in my hair. I remember thinking there had to be some symbolism to that.
I never did look into what that might mean. As I am writing to share with you that my last day at JPL will be July 17, I decided to look up what finding a tick means in different cultures and contexts. Endurance, patience, resilience, adaptability, boundary setting and self-care are symbolized by ticks. I feel like all of those words could describe my personal and professional journey over the last nine years, but joy is the best way to describe it.
I am excited for new adventures in life as a mom as my kids are becoming young adults, and I am looking forward to new professional challenges.
