@edugganphd @DrRiveraMindt @ytquiroz @DocBlock_NP @AmygdalaPhD @LucasDriskell @victor_delbene @AntonioNPuente Such an exciting step! I have, and still, ask myself what I want to be when I grow up. Sounds silly but knowing your end game helps you focus on moves that foster your life goals and highlight your strengths. Also, know and be confident in your worth! Helps with negotiations ;)

Have a Ph.D. Finished fellowship. Been a professional out of school for more than two years.

But I pray I never forget to be present in these human moments.

@CynthiaFunesPhD ¡Hay cero possibilidades que no haya planedao ni practicado lo que iba decir! So, if you got it the first time, I’m still putting you in the #badass category! Also, it’s hard to text in Spanish when auto correct doesn’t think you know how to spell lol
