I truly believe that it's possible to be successful in academia and live a fulfilled life at the same time.
Why? Because I'm doing it!
How?
I'm a master at time management and I set very strong boundaries boundaries.
This started when I was in grad school.
I learned very quickly that just being "smart" and working hard would lead me to grad school success.
There were some foundational elements that I needed to add to my life: time management, organization, prioritization, structure, and boundaries.
And that's exactly what I teach grad students like you!
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.
