On my final day at the Commission, I cannot help but reflect on what an incredible privilege it has been to work here, both as a staffer and a Commissioner. For the past several years, I have served as a temporary steward of this important agency, with a job to uphold and further the SEC mission: to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation. To me, this mission has meant much more than its handful of words—it encapsulates critical elements for a successful economy and country. I will always be grateful for the time I have been able to work alongside my fellow Commissioners and the thousands of dedicated SEC staff, who not only believe in this mission, but unceasingly demonstrate their commitment to it through action.
