  • Comment: The only two sources that show direct, significant coverage of the subject is the Stanford magazine and Forbes. The 30 under 30 award is one of the subset categories. There's literally hundreds of those awarded each year. At least in the link provided she is just mentioned in a very short quip as part of a slideshow. The Stanford magazine isn't much to show notability as the magazine would inherently give undue weight to alums. Sulfurboy (talk) 07:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
