5 years.

Today marks my five year anniversary at the fruit.

It feels appropriate that my five year anniversary was preceded by the toughest week of work I’ve ever had. I’ve never learned as much or as quickly than in my time here…it’s been challenging, rewarding, frustrating, awesome, and everything in between.

Growing up, I dreamed of working at the fruit. I used fruit products before they were cool and ubiquitous, and even wrote an essay in my senior year of high school that envisioned myself as a senior engineer there (clearly I wasn’t ambitious enough).

Five years is a long time here given how fast it’s grown, but personally, I take greater pride in the fact that I’ve been a fruit fan for a lot longer than that.
