She continued: "The nerves. The faith. The sacrifice. The prayers. The belief that something bigger than me was happening. I don't take this lightly. I don't get used to it. I'm just deeply grateful."
Baci concluded her message by thanking supporters: "Thank you to everyone who has stood by me from the very first 'let's try' to this third 'officially amazing.' Three times. Still humbled. Still hungry. Still thankful."
