Her vast knowledge and wisdom were a constant source of learning, but it was her deep sensitivity and empathy that truly amazed me. Jacinta's willingness to be vulnerable in service of her coaches empowered me to do the same, and that's something I'll forever be grateful for. She's a beautiful soul and my greatest role model."
