Ph.D. Updates

  • Presented my project, titled Co-Parenting with CPS in my school’s Big Pitch competition. Made the finals!

  • This same project was accepted to the European Conference on Positive Psychology (ECPP) in Dublin. DUBLIN!

  • Unexpectedly gathered more data with an impromptu interview with another parent.

Writing Updates

  • Book proposal is done. Thank you to the generous souls who gave me feedback on my first draft. I appreciate you!

  • Query letter is done. I’ll be pimping it out to agents this month

  • Signed up for the 2026 Writing Conference of Los Angeles, happening in May, where I will pitch in person to 4 agents.

  • I’ll be attending the LA Festival of Books next month for the first time to hobnob, network, and discover the latest and greatest in literature.

  • Still working on line edits in the memoir—though this has taken a backseat to my research for a couple of weeks.

Vow of Poverty

  • Still going strong! I’m adapting to drinking tea at home instead of going out for coffee.

  • I’ve been learning clever little ways to save $$ here and there.
