![]() ![]() I earned a minor in economics, but I never learned about how to responsibly manage my own finances. I took a middle school course called “life skills,” but it didn’t teach me how to work a sewing machine or a power tool or to change a tire or block a punch or read a map. My elementary school was in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, but all our field trips were to musty indoor museums, never to go put our hands in the mud and pick up trash and learn about how to save the bay. Yet, as I wander through the “real world” and make my home in the Santa Cruz community, I continue to encounter essentials my schooling never touched, opportunities it missed. ![]() My late grandfather, a self-made entrepreneur, loved to brag about all the credentials of his only granddaughter (me). Arguably, I got the “best” education possible. I have done a lot of school: 14 years in East Coast private/preparatory institutions and four more at Stanford University, during which I earned two bachelor’s degrees, a minor and a master’s degree.Īnd I’ve done it well I was in the top 10% of my 2016 Stanford graduating class. ![]()
