Yeah, funny enough. So I had an internship with the NBA again, showing my like my like in the NBA production department, creating footage for their network, I got to make some shorts that went on NBA TV. I worked on a documentary that went on ESPN. And that was an amazing internship. I loved it. And then as it when my internship ended, and I was done college, I actually, there was a job opening there. And I applied and it was a multi route interview. And it was a final round interview. And I ultimately didn’t get it. But if I got that job, I was going to be working in Chicago, New Jersey, New York City, and me not getting that job was me saying, Okay, maybe that was a sign to go to LA, I was always reluctant at first to go to LA because it’s the way you said, Ashley, New York is where I had my contacts. It’s where I’ve worked. It’s what I was familiar with. It’s where home is my family is. But as a senior at Northwestern, we had an amazing experience where I got to fly out because I was a showrunner of a student run sitcom. And I got to fly out to LA with our professor and I got to shadow Steve Levits. And I was the very, very beginning of modern family. And there’s a contact through Northwestern that connected us to Steve Levits. And so I got to shadow him for a day on the set of modern family, seeing what life could be like in LA. And of course, it’s like the most glamorous way to see life in LA. But I was like, oh, I can make it work in LA. So then when I had again, so that a few months later, when I had that interview, I didn’t get New York that the MBA job, I said, all right, this is the sign, like, I’m I am going to take the plunge and go to LA and, you know, give it at least three months to see if I can make it work.
