Hey there, listener! In this episode of "i" statement, I talked about my favorite job to this day, despite being employed in my desired field and at a public, research university, at that. I do like what I do now, and the work I do is rewarding. However, I can't deny the fact that my part-time job that I had during the summer before my senior year of high school, the summer before college, and during the early months of the pandemic was the most rewarding, supportive, and shaping job I have ever had. Attitudes around part-time jobs and experiences that are unrelated to your major or desired career path are often downplayed and deemed insignificant, when in reality, they are often are primitive experiences in working with people, dealing with conflict, completing tasks, and managing many things at once. We should be praising these experiences, not dismissing them. Thanks for listening✨

Hey there, listener! In this episode of "i" statement, I share a few habits that I've developed over the last several months/year that have vastly improved my everyday life. From limiting screen time to eating nourishing food at least twice a day, I hope these habits resonate with you, inspire you, or give you ideas on how to build on the habits that you already have as part of your routine. Thanks for listening✨

Hey there, listener! In this week's episode of "i" statement, I discuss popular forms of social media, including Instagram and LinkedIn, and the ways in which they're used in the networking landscape. From talking about the best days to post to the key features of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn, this episode all of things career-related when it comes to being active online. Thanks for listening✨

Hey there, listener! In this episode of "i" statement, I talk about how I quit my teaching job only seven months into my contract, accepted a job offer in a different field, moved out of state, and started fresh. A big change like this - well, two big changes, really - can be extremely daunting, but taking a leap of faith can sometimes offer opportunities that you might not have had otherwise. Leaning into a fresh start is key to accepting and embracing the "new," and having a strong support network doesn't hurt, either. Thanks for listening✨

Hey there, listener! In this episode of "i" statement, I discuss my personal journey with fitness and general activity as it connects to food. Throughout my life, I've always been an active person, but the incorporation of more focused fitness into my life combined with my varied food consumption patterns has led me on journey that has taught me many lessons and has helped me to develop important realizations. I'm glad I get to share them with you. Thanks for listening✨

Hey there, listener! It's been a while since I've posted an episode, but I'm back with a new one about strategic planning and implementation at my undergraduate alma mater. I dive into my experience as a member of the Strategic Planning Committee, the implications of the college's choices in committee member selection and publication of the plan, and the ways in which I think the college can shift its decisions regarding the creation of the plan and how it is shared with the greater college community. Thanks for listening✨

Hey there, listener! In this week's episode of "i" statement, I talk about the differences between information contained in an informative news article versus the peer-reviewed research article that's referenced by the news outlet, and the disparities are pretty shocking. It's important to remember that lots of media is sensationalized and inflated, and that as conscious consumers of media and information, it's largely our responsibility to pick through what's fact and what's fabrication. Thanks for listening✨

Hey there, listener! In this week's episode of "i" statement, I discuss my educational journey, as a learner toward earning my teaching degree and as a student teacher in a school. I felt this topic was fitting due to my student teaching coming to a close at the end of this week. I reflect on my experiences as a young college student, through my time abroad as an educator and Spanish speaker, to my experiences as a student teacher in a fifth grade classroom and team setting. Here are two important pieces of my educational journey that you can take a look at, if you're interested:

Hey there, listener! In this episode of "i" statement, I discuss a phenomenon I have not only run into, but have been experiencing - decision fatigue. I unpack decision fatigue after a little update about how I'm doing, and then I transition in to talking about core principles. Core principles are those central beliefs and values that guide your way of being. We all have them, but we may not have consciously tapped into them yet, and I encourage you to take that leap and unearth your core principles to the surface. Thanks for listening✨
