Right after Reorientation in Mountain View, we went to LA before going home! Here is a little vlog where we went to Universal Studios (Addison’s first time!), Hollywood, Echo Park, and even tattoos and coffee at Super Sweet Tattoo and Coffee! Then we ended the night with Ktown before working from home on Monday, meeting up with Jake after many years, and then going to the Google Playa Vista Office! Gorgeous!
I saw Hopescope’s video on Amazon Style in LA, and I had to check it out myself when we were in Glendale! It was a cool experience, and I would love to go again (and maybe buy something), when I’m in town again! Wanted to share my experience on this as a separate mini vlog that branched out from my Google ReOrientation Mountain View and LA vlog!
This was the inaugural program for Google’s gTech gPS Consulting Bootcamp: Trek Week! Nooglers from all over the world aligned to gTech gPS came to Mountain View Campus in July of 2022 for a consulting bootcamp, opportunities to meet other Nooglers, and learn more about the organization! We learned so much, had so much fun, and explored the campus and the gBikes (my fave part)! Check out this vlog where I started off at the Google San Francisco campus and then headed over to Google Mountain View campus for Trek Week!
This is my second time in Seattle, but Addison’s first, so we went to the highlights of where I went last time and all of the places on my bucketlist! This was right after our Vancouver trip, so definitely check those vlogs out! We checked out Starbucks Reserve, Bainbridge Island, Bruciato, Space Needle, Waterfront Trail, Wasabi Sushi and Izakaya, Dough Zone, shopping, Sushi Kashiba, Top Pot Doughnuts, Din Tai Fung and Centurion Lounge in this vlog! We also had a little scare with our cats back at home that were so smart and jumped up to open the office door that they weren’t supposed to be into…
Our first international trip since the pandemic, we went to Vancouver and Seattle for 10 days! This is our first time in Vancouver, and we were so excited to see all of the nature, food, and culture Vancouver had to offer. We went to Gastown, Kingyo, Stanley Park Biking Seawall, Richmond Night Market, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Kosoo, Shopping on Robson Street, Marutama Ramen with Jonathan (who was a project manager in TCC’s pro bono program)!

I’m four weeks into my Noogler experience, and I’m going through a lot of onboarding activities and trainings such as shadowing opportunities and 1-on-1s with teammates! Especially on a Monday, you really need to get something going to be productive, so I’m happy to announce that Magic Mind is sponsoring this video, and I love it! Really gets me going in the day (cats permitting)!

After my last week at Accenture, Addison and I went on a trip to Nashville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta for fun! We explored Downtown Nashville, Vanderbilt University, and Broadway (and eating hot chicken at Hattie B’s!), then we went to Chattanooga for Ruby Falls, Incline Railway, Lookout Mountain, and Point Park! We then went to Atlanta and then headed back home!

I landed a technology consulting job at Accenture when I graduated back in 2018, and I’ve been at Accenture for 3 years, so I’m bittersweet for closing this chapter with this last week vlog! It has been an amazing experience whether it be meeting people (Accenture and clients), amazing experiences and memories, and all of the wealth of knowledge I learned about navigating the workplace, client engagements, and Accenture in general! Here’s a last tribute to my time at Accenture with this vlog from rolling off my last client project, transitioning off with knowledge transfer sessions for the multiple hats I wear, and going to the office and saying goodbye! It’s not a goodbye, but rather a see you later!
Last Vlog of the trip! I miss us already!
My friends and I went to Joshua Tree in August, and it was an experience I never would have imagined. Hiking, bonfires, the struggles, the highs, the stories, and the inside jokes, this trip brought us together like family. Even looking back, it seems surreal, and even looking at these photos, it looks like I’m looking at someone else.
3-4 groups that have never met together as a whole came together and we built bonds we never expected. Here’s to Winter 2022!
In this particular vlog, we branched off and checked out Salvation Mountain, Bombay Beach, Saltan Sea, and Palm Springs! Since we’re a few groups that came together and bonded as BLOOD, we even bought matching outfits and surprised the other group that stayed back at the Joshua Tree airbnb and their reaction was priceless!

In this particular vlog, we woke up at 4:30 AM for a sunrise hike at Ryan Mountain, shopped in Joshua Tree for Michelle’s cowboy outfit, Keys View sunset, and Joshua Tree Saloon! Then we actually had a chill day and did a Family dinner where we cooked and baked together and then headed out to Arch Rock trail, Cholla Cactus Garden, and then decorated cupcakes! Check it out!
