Can’t believe it’s been almost 3 years since I moved to NYC🥹😭

I moved to NYC in Feb 2023 with 3 suitcases, my best friend, a remote job, and a dream (YES ITS CORNY I KNOW) 

*almost* 3 years later, I’ve turned my life into that dream I had: 

- Dec 2022: Got the job that enabled me to move to NYC
- Feb 2023: Moved to from Chicago to NYC (my first apartment!)
- 2023: Lots of challenges and learnings in my first year at NYC. Pushed myself everyday.
- Jan 2024: First promotion!
- Feb 2024: Big breakup 🥲
- Feb 2024: Decided I would ONLY focus on ME. Deleted the apps. Stopped dating. Only solo dates.
- April 2024: Moved into the studio apartment me all know and love 🔑
- July 2024: Found myself again, learned to love myself
- August 2024: Met my boyfriend :)
- September 2024: Founded The Marketing Groupe
- April 2025: 2 years living alone in my studio apartment
- September 2025: Paid off my student loans!
