If you asked me this time last year where I would be living right now and what I would be doing I might have said, “living in New York City working for a fabulous magazine” or “living out on the west coast learning the ins and outs of the PR world” but I definitely would not have said, “living in my hometown ten minutes away from the house I grew up in and running a platform for post-grads with a growing and loyal following on Instagram.” Graduating from college or just being a 20 something, in general, is a very confusing and overwhelming time. So, I’m hoping to change that narrative through the content on the Dear Diary website and through our social media platforms. Read more about Dear Diary here…

Realizing the dream you’ve held on to for 10+ years isn’t really your dream is a slow and painful process. After officially declaring I was no longer pre-med, I felt like I was starting from scratch. What would I do now? I needed to figure out what I enjoyed enough to build a career from it. After some introspective work, I realized I loved to learn. I thoroughly enjoyed my classes and decided if I could, I would make a career out of being a student. I considered getting a PhD, and I still might. For now, though, I’ve channeled that love into a career in teaching.
