“Our team just received news a bit ago that we’ll be pitching for the Thorne and Manolo Sanchez prizes. Super exciting! If Tsai CITY didn’t exist, none of these opportunities would have been possible to me. I’m grateful to everyone there and the resources that made pursuing our mission possible these last several years.”
