I really appreciate your help with my résumé
“I really appreciate your help with my résumé, Jared. I had no idea what I was doing, and certainly no idea it would take this much reflection and work.

my biggest a-ha moment from your JDA was realizing many of my skills are also sought in a Chief Risk Officer role
“Besides realizing that I really like being a GC, my biggest a-ha moment from Jared's JDA was realizing many of my skills are also sought in a Chief Risk Officer role - and that companies are starting to merge those roles together. Big picture, that means I can really lean into my risk management experience as a GC.”
