Over the past few years, I’ve sought to cultivate my creative side a little bit more. I started by documenting my grad school experience on my old blog [archived, but I recently started a Substack!] and Instagram, but eventually expanded to YouTube as well. While I don’t have nearly as much time to create as I once did, I’ve found a lot of joy in expressing myself online [it’s also helped me meet some pretty cool grad colleagues // people]. It’s also helped me expand my professional skills. Most importantly, it’s been a way for me to find new ways of seeing the world and telling my story.
