Alice Hunsberger talks to Heather Grunkemeier (former Program Owner of Trust & Safety at Rover, and current owner of consultancy firm Twinkle LLC) and discusses how Heather finally broke into the field of Trust & Safety after years of trying, what it was actually like for her, and what her advice is for other people in the midst of career pivots. We also touch on mental health, identity, self worth, and how working in Trust & Safety has unique challenges (and rewards).
