FELLOW SPOTLIGHT
Meet Trupti Patel from D1F7
Jake here 👋
Sitting at my kitchen table on a rainy afternoon, I logged into Zoom to facilitate a virtual breakout room for a few D1F7 fellows. My energy was a bit low for the first few minutes. I blame the weather. Then, Trupti jumped on and immediately introduced herself with a confidence and gusto that I haven’t encountered in months — especially on Zoom. Within seconds, I knew that we had someone special on our hands.
Fast forward a few months, and after an admirable growth trajectory in Day One, Trupti gave a fantastic presentation at the D1F7 showcase. This week’s spotlight is a Q+A with Trupti — one of our fellows that you’re definitely going to want to keep an eye on.
