Over the past two months, I have been fortunate enough to spend 20+ hours a week interning for a local media company, and let me tell you: it has been a ton of work, but it has made me so happy. I have felt an immense amount of accomplishment each Friday when I see my work in the newspaper next to some of the greatest names in local journalism. I have had some fantastic coaches, and the whole experience has been invaluable to me. As a quick “month of November wrap-up,” I’ll run some highlights:

The San Francisco Chocolate Salon was an incredible experience. My aunt’s high school friend Shannon Fox’s business, Evolve Truffles was booming at the event — with unique liqueur, spice, floral, and Pacific Northwest-themed collections.

We spent the afternoon at Fort Point, which is located near the Golden Gate Bridge. Although the weather was freezing, the view was totally worth the wind-blown hair. I felt so lucky to have had the chance to spend a girls day with my aunt.

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the love and support of my family and friends. Thank you everyone!
