TIA – Student 2 – 2025
“Tianna’s story through Columbia and into her professional life was incredibly inspiring, especially given that many of us currently worry about our life paths, and are faced with very heavy schedules on top of being student leaders. Her notes on ‘Duck Syndrome’ resonated with a lot of us, and we had a long discussion on it after she had finished speaking. Her words on handling burnout and not letting a perfectionist attitude interfere with our work was helpful for me, as I often worry too much about every action I take or project I work on, despite the fact that I’m still a student and I’m meant to fail before I can succeed.”
