Signs I'm entering my señora era . I told my undergrad mentees that "I'm not raising academic malcriados" when they told me they didn't send a thank you email. . Do I regret it? Not at all.

This semester was a giant dumpster fire, but everything has fallen into place in the last 3 weeks. Found out I passed my Qual 1 today! Thank you Karen Tabb Dina, PhD, Prof. Mai Hoang and Natalie Lira for all the support! ✅️ Qualifying Paper 1 #SocialWork #PhDLife #UIUC

My toxic habit is that I will delete PAGES of work and start over if the vibe is wrong. I keep saying I'll stop. But I don't. Maybe in 2024?

Congrats Omar !

Thank you Latina/o/x Studies Association for creating a space where I was able to connect with these amazing #UIUC Alum. It's completely surreal to have gone from reading their work in classes to being in the same room with them.
