When I was in graduate school, I quickly realized that smarts weren’t enough—I’d need to use every ounce of organizational skill and undergraduate research experience I had, plus mental notes from when my mom earned her PhD while I was growing up. 

I built on that foundation so I could thrive in graduate school. And now, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned as a student and a professor with you
