I'm not the greatest in updating any online profile, but we recently had an amazing guest lecture by Dr. Isabelle Cockel @portsmouthuni. Since then, my students couldn't stop discussing abt the #VietMigrants in #Taiwan. Needless to say, a very successful collaboration!
🔔 Today marks my first day as a lecturer at #FulbrightUniversityVietnam, and it went even better than I could ever imagine. Friendly colleagues, supportive back office & super curious students. Special thanks to @Vietstudies for making this happen! 🙏
For my PhD defense, instead of random gifts, I (shamelessly) asked my family & friends to give me #ColdHardCash so I can donate to @BlueDragonVN. Today I received the last transfer and made the donation ☺️ Oh baby, doesn't it feel good to give! #DonateDontHate#MigrantsAreHumans
@Sara_Polak @LarsdeWildt @Alejandrovpm90@EvaKoppen And last but not least, just two days ago for my birthday, the #GirlsSquad (@MFigoureux and co) also made a donation to @BlueDragonVN without me even asking. It made my little heart beamed with so much joy ✨️🤍 you know this Dr. so well! thank you, my very special girls 👧 💫
Hello Twitter world, after a long hibernation, I'm back with good news: I have successfully defended my #PhD & officially a Doctor, thanks to the help & support of friends & family near & far, without whom this journey would not have been possible.
Onwards to a new chapter ✨️
@biekezaman Sorry Bieke for replying one full month late: but thank you!!! For the mini prep talk, and the walk in the park in the bitter cold 🗯 I'm very thankful 🙏
@MFigoureux Ayyyyyy Dr. Figoureux, this was all made possible because of your help and support. Not only I but also the women who benefit from my research thank you so very much 🤍 in a lot of gratefulness ✨️
@MFigoureux Thank you for speaking out! It is about time that migraine is taken seriously, even in the workplace. Please know that you are not alone in this journey and many, including myself, appreciate your effort of raising awareness 🙏
Life is so busy I didn't even celebrate that I handed in my PhD thesis weeks ago🥺Thankfully, I have a group of supporting girlfriends who constantly remind me to celebrate big as well as small achievements on this journey. I am so very eternally grateful 🙏
