“I’ve reinvented myself several times, in multiple career tracks. I’ve carried what I’ve learned from each part to the next. This academic journey has honestly matched the labor and career journey that I’ve had. Interdisciplinary studies mean a lot more to me than they did when I started — it’s the academic twin of my work life.”
