As my cousin, Atieris was my first friend. Only seven months apart we were always extremely close growing up. I've always looked up to her because of her ambition and drive and her bravery. I appreciate her always giving me sound advice, the good, the bad, and the ugly. When I need to process my thoughts she has always been the one who I trust most to help me with that. Atieris has helped me grow into the woman I am today by encouraging me all these years in several areas of my life. I'm so grateful for her love and support.
