My freebie cowbell was out today in full force #NoKings

Good GRE scores (and a little pity) offset a rather terrible undergraduate transcript (youthful mistakes) in admissions to an MA program, leading to a PhD. Night and day between my undergrad and grad experiences & outcomes - maturity from few years in the workforce made a big difference.

Three year commitment!

Beginning of Day 2 of #SIOP Program Build for the 2025 conference. So much work goes into making it happen. We (Program Trio) toiled away for 9.5 hours yesterday in a small conference room, phew!

Just last-minute hammered out my SIOP reviews on a 3 hour train ride! Somehow, trains end up my de facto place to do submission reviews. 🚆
