Yea it’s been a whole roller coaster of trial and error and I don’t say this much, I am extremely proud of myself. Part of my growth journey has entailed appreciating my wins whether big or small because I’m that perfectionist who is always thinking of what’s next. 🤔

after an honest conversation with my husband, I realized that for my sake and for his own, I needed an outlet where I could spill all these goals, thoughts and ideas.

My story is my life and a life cannot be summed up in words but I can and will do my best to introduce myself to you. Self introductions have always been difficult for me as I have always struggled with my sense of self. We pick the parts of ourselves that are most important for a stranger getting to know us.

I wanted to be in control of my JC and uni years, and so I worked towards that. Sometimes the rationale for control was flawed – to avoid fear and disappointment. I kick people out of my lives faster than they can leave. Controlling the amount of hurt I might potentially feel.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that no matter how old you are it’s okay if you don’t know what you want to be in life. Just do something that makes you happy and something you want to do. I know that’s easier said than done but find the thing you’re passionate about and [it]’ll come to you one day.

I learned how to communicate what I want and what I need, and did not let my fear of rejection / failure conceal such vulnerability and honesty. This applies to both professional and personal relationships: from advocating for PhD stipend rise that had been stagnant for 6 years in my capacity as PhD co-representative with my friend Keel in front of PhD Committee and Dean of Finance as we presented our findings of the survey we conducted among PhD students (we got a 40% raise August 2022 onwards that we now live above Washington DC poverty line, wohoo!), negotiating my hourly wage and daily rate as a Teaching Assistant and Research Consultant respectively, to telling a guy I was dating that I needed to feel connected with him through consistent communication even just a good-night text per day as the bare minimum.

While I did cheer all four years in high school, I do not plan on cheering in college because I wanted to branch out of my comfort zone and find other things that sparked interest.
