When I started grad school, I had a lot going for me:

I’ve always been a super organized person who plans successfully.

I had done three undergraduate research projects and two grad school prep programs.

My mom got her PhD when I was 12 so I saw her go through the process and she was able to share her experiences with me.

And I still went into grad school not knowing exactly what to expect...but I had an idea and a good foundation.

However, I noticed that my fellow grad students did not have the same preparation and expectations as me.

And that's why I started The Academic Society. I became committed to teaching other grad students everything I knew about grad school and identified the exact skills and tools that made me successful.

I created an online community of grad students who desperately wanted to transition from researching tips about the grad school experience on their own to becoming #gradbosses who know exactly how to set themselves up for grad school success.
