But I also got exposure to new places.

And so...

She really was the one that was like, you should look at going to college out of state.

You know, I think it would have been really easy for me to go the path of like going to a state school in Florida, like getting a full ride because I did well in high school and like really just staying the course.

I feel like that's like what feels like a very normal path for people.

Whereas like a lot of the people in my high school were like, I'd be like going to Ivy leagues and all those things like these, like, and it was interesting for me because like my aunt gave me a window into like, Hey, you should also be looking at these things.

And given that my parents like didn't go to college, I, you know, it was a whole new experience for my sister and I. So that really was what motivated me to like eventually leave Florida and like

go to an out-of-state school and I ended up going to NYU, but like end up getting into like moving to a city and having new experiences and like pushing myself in those ways.

So I thought I would be more on the editorial side of magazine production.

I mean, a thousand things in between, but I would say no.

Angel investing was definitely something that I was the first in my family and friend group to really do.

I think like what was interesting is like, so I had been building Create and Cultivate and my other company for a while at that point.

And basically what I started to have was unprecedented access to female founders at the earliest stages of building their businesses.

And venture was foreign to me at that time.
