I did it so you don’t have to! In honor of completing my MPH today, read below and earn a(n honorary) Master’s in Public Health in Health Policy and Management from one of the top schools in the nation, too! Pre-Program Social and Behavioral Sciences in Public Health: Yep. Keep…
Blogging and Jogging + a plug for Bull City Race Fest
It’s been an embarrassingly long time since my last post (which, I admit, barely counts since it was just a link and a comment), but I have a good excuse. Several, in fact, but I’ll just discuss one in this post: self-care in the form of exercise. For me, exercise…

Enrichment
I’m free on Mondays after work. And since it seems that I can’t stand free time, I decided to fill my Monday evenings with activities that I enjoy. It all started when some friends and I decided to meet on Mondays for Spanish conversation. Some speak it quite well, some…
Working Clean
I read this article on The Kitchn the other day about “working clean,” which, according to chef Thomas Keller, “can be very specific, referring to ingredients needed to complete a recipe, measured out and ready to use, or it can be more general: are you organized, do you have everything…
