>> I went to -- well I'm from the DC area, I went to high school around here in Maryland.
And then I went to PIT and graduated 2012.
I am not doing anything right now that I did when I was studying undergrad.
I went to school as a psychology major and pre-physical therapy student with the intention
of getting my doctorate in physical therapy.
Realized senior year second semester that I wasn't cut out for three years
of year-round grad school, and decided that, you know, I didn't know enough about myself,
honestly, to pursue a career and $150,000 in debt if I wasn't sure that I wanted to do it.
So I graduated, got my degree.
I lived in New York for a year, worked probably four
or five different jobs, ended up back in DC.
Worked in environmental and social justice advocacy for a small consulting firm.
And then I worked for a nonprofit organization, a community-based nonprofit
in DC called "The Capital Area Food Bank".
Quit that in February, traveled around South America for two months,
and then came back in April and started this job.
