The power of community mentorship, and what the heck I was doing in Kenya all summer

through the ALN Mentorship Network. A large part of why I was able to accomplish so much during my summer internship with Stawi Foods in Nairobi, Kenya was due to the support I received through the ALN Mentorship Network. Check out this 2 minute video where I describe my use of the ALN network, and what I was able to achieve with the help of: Ahsan Manji – Managing Director for East Africa, Weetabix Alex Okosi – Managing Director, MTV Networks Africa Dorothy Ghettuba – CEO, Spielworks Media…

 Cheering on our fearless leader during his panel “Creating Company Culture” at the #Dublin Tech Summit! He crushed it and couldn’t have been better - unless we had brought balloons and air horns to get him pumped up; that would’ve been more appropriate. #dts18 @teamasana  Irish tulips already in bloom! In St. Stephen’s Green, created in 1668. In 1916 a troop of Irish rebels held the square against British soldiers in the fight for Irish independence. Luckily both sides were very chivalrous and animal lovers: “During the Rising, fire was temporarily halted to allow the park's groundsman to feed the local ducks.” #ststephensgreen #dublin  @mbeisen1 Sending you a message from Austin during my bachelorette weekend. I love you so much that I think I’ll marry you in a month! #austin #bachelorette #onemonthcountdown  Matt and I have been wearing engagement rings for 15 months now - I can’t believe how quickly it has flown by! I always find it amusing when people see his ring and are absolutely shocked that he is wearing one before the wedding. But why wouldn’t he? As Ed Sheeran so eloquently put it recently, “I never saw why men don’t wear engagement rings. It’s the same commitment either way”. In just six weeks, we will make it official in Captiva Island, Florida! @mbeisen1  Happy 1 year anniversary to our perfect Southern pup Sadie! We are so lucky to have found you in rural Alabama and brought you home with us to be an urban West Coast dog. Even though you ate Matt’s nice watch that I bought for his 30th birthday and you sometimes freak out when I’m in meetings at work and you aren’t in the room, we still love you! We can’t wait for you to be our ring bearer in just six weeks, Sadie girl!  Dear @ciscomeraki social media manager: This morning on my way to work in an Uber Pool I met one of your new Meraki program managers who was very lovely. She mentioned y’all use Asana (where I work) and that she needs to start learning how to use our product. Please tell her that @teamasana launched Asana Academy today! I hope she (and all of you) find it helpful :) #meraki  Wednesday’s can be ruff @teamasana #takeyourdogtowork  Today’s stars of the SPCA: Arlo, a 2 year old tiny poodle mix who is just loving life; Everest, a 1 year old Australian Shepherd mix who is super sweet and gentle; and Gus, a big Rottweiler mix who almost ran me over with excitement. All ready for adoption ASAP! @sanfranciscospca #adoptdontshop #rescuedog #sanfrancisco
