On grad school
Reach out
If you're are a prospective grad student, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to help.
Seek support of real people
As a grad student, you'll experience both highs and lows — much like anything else you've invested a lot of time and effort into. Acknowledging both the challenges and achievements is crucial, and having a supportive person or community to share your journey with can make all the difference.
