Just got an email from my #EdD supervisor who said that “it’s inspiring to work with you”... and then I 😭😭😭 ... having an amazing supervisor is the reason I’ve lasted this long #Grateful

Two important lessons I learned in my twenties:
- If you think everyone hates you, you probably need to sleep.

Yesterday, one of my students told me that they used to be scared of delivering presentations in front of the class until they took my course.
And, that now they *like* delivering presentations in front of the class.

Working precariously in higher education is particularly tough in October.

After a long week - 12 and 14 hour days every day - I’m finally home for the weekend.

My best friend, the #Brodster, hasn’t taken his eyes off me since I got home #😍 #🥰

I’m feeling incredibly fortunate to have this community, the #chickadees, the 2015 #EdD cohort @ubc. I never would have imagined how much my life would change when I began this program. I’m feeling re-energized and motivated to finish that darn dissertation! #dissertating #👩🏻‍💻📚📝
