To my partner and best friend, thank you for being my number-one supporter, and thank you to my family for always having my back. Debra, my soul sister, my girl-bestie, the pepper to my salt, I love you. Thank you for being with me all these years.

Kimberly, thank you for always being there to field questions, to be my cheerleader, my problem solver, and the most incredible agent. I’m so honored to work with you.

To my team at SMP, thank you for making this such an amazing experience. Rose, your belief in my words still makes me all sappy.

Jenn, Sarah, and Nina I couldn’t do any of this without all of you. I’m constantly amazed by how incredible you all are, and I’m so very lucky to have such a phenonmenal team.

Hustlers, you are such an amazing and wonderful group of women. I’m so very fortunate to have you all on my side.
