ABOUT ME
​
I am a wife, student, pet parent, daughter, friend, teacher, and academic researcher. Each of these hats makes my life complete and without one my life is unbalanced. As an upcoming second-year Ph.D. student, I have learned the importance of balance in life. To help with balance and support, I along with two of friends created @GradSlack to help graduate students around the world. Our hope is that members find camaraderie and solidarity on both good and bad days during graduate school. For more information follow us on twitter @gradslack and visit our website.
