Some people have asked what I'm doing next. I'm pursuing an MSW to be a therapist. I have new, wonderful classmates and professors, and I'm finding myself as a learner. I'm excited about this new path, and my next career.

Very personally, Mark's death, my parents experiencing life-changing diagnoses, and overall exhaustion/disinterest in research propelled me towards a different career, and a different life. Happily, I also fell in love again and didn't want to be across the country anymore.

Why?: The most relevant answer is that my values and priorities have shifted, much like my life has shifted over the past 11 years. I'm not the same person I was in 2013, and the job didn't fit me anymore, as much as it was a great job and I had largely done well at it.

As I jokingly have been telling loved ones, I'm retiring after 11 years from a wonderful department, working with some of the best colleagues and friends a person could ask for.
