If you happened to stumble across this website and wondered where I’ve been…same. The last time I published a blog post was 2020, which somehow feels like both yesterday and a lifetime ago. Since then, life has been busy in all the ways life tends to be. I’ve changed jobs, traveled more, read more books…

My friends and I went on the MOST AMAZING road trip to some national parks in the U.S. (Badlands, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Teton, Redwoods, Crater Lake and Theodore Roosevelt) We also drove the 101 along the Oregon Coast, making a stop at Secret Beach. It is so difficult to post ALL of the amazing photos…

Does anyone need a GRE study book because… I DON’T NEED MINE ANYMORE! I was officially accepted into the Master of Public Administration program at Cleveland State University (CSU).

Starting a new career is so exciting. We apply to countless job postings in effort to move forward, we finally land an interview which could lead to second or even third interviews and then, if we’re lucky, get the call that we have been selected! Awesome, right? While it is a truly awesome thing, it can…

This isn’t about social media etiquette because I’m an advocate of free speech and support individuals expressing themselves in ways they see fit. This is about more effective ways to feel whole again and seek validation within. Likes and follows do not define your self-worth. Instagram is one of my favorite social media platforms as…

Watch it now! The Bold Type is Freeform’s new summer show and I am addicted! I was under the assumption that this was going to be your typical young adult drama about privileged, attractive people in the fashion magazine world. I thought the editor-in-cheif, Jacqueline Carlyle, played by Melora Hardin, would be the Miranda Priestly…

President Donald Trump dropped a hell of bombshell on Twitter this morning. He announced his decision, made alongside generals and military experts, that the U.S. Government will be banning Transgender individuals from joining the armed forces. Naturally, I was immediately mortified. Why are we moving backwards? It takes a great deal of bravery and strength…
