After over 12 years of solid performance reviews, I found myself laid off, and it's been 1.5 years since that moment. Now, at 50+, I'm pursuing my MS at Georgia Tech, having completed two semesters. This was something I had always wanted to do, but my previous job never allowed the time. I'm also in the process of starting my own business focused on AI-proof solutions, which I truly believe exists. It's been a journey of learning and exploration, with plenty of time to focus on my health, pursue hobbies, and travel to incredible places like Death Valley, Zion, Bryce, Spain, and England. Most importantly, I'm cherishing time with family and friends whenever they can fit me in. Here’s to new horizons!
