Happy two years to my defense day!! Since leaving academia, I still get to publish and mentor and present at conferences. And also have already been promoted to Managing Consultant in my company. I wouldn’t trade the PhD experience OR leaving academia for anything 🤍

Sad to be missing SMB2023 - Annual Meeting of the SMB this year! My first SMB was in 2015 and I’ve felt so lucky to spend the last 8 years learning and growing in and out of academia alongside some of the best people and researchers I’ve met. New attendees — don’t take it for granted!

My first project once I left academia gave me the opportunity to engage with clients, grow my technical skillset, and create tools that led to policy development and increased efficiency. Read more about our team's work with the COVID-19 response here: guidehouse.com/case-studies/a…
