Woke up this morning to Aidvantage saying I owe $23,193.24 on my student loans by March 7th. Mind you I'm on the #SAVE plan and owe $0 a month. I've actually never missed a payment in the entire history of my student loans. Happy Saturday President Biden #College #loan #work #news

So happy that I’ll be joining the staff band at QMU (QMU-sic 😊). I haven’t written a song since I joined my PhD program, which is the first time I haven’t written at least 1 song per year in the last 20 years… I’ve missed music 🎵 🎙️

Excited to see attention brought to the need for improved teaching approaches for neurodiverse students in higher education, this is especially exciting for me to see as this work will focus on dyslexia. Well done!!!
