Well, folks, this is it. Today is the last day of my 4.5 year postdoc.
I'm still planning to become a PI some day, but for now, I'm doing a detour to pick up some management skills as a Research Manager in the Institute for Mental Health Policy Research at CAMH. Very grateful for this new role!

Our Spec script is described as a unique blend of Indigenous spirituality & Christian ideology. Feedback: film can appeal to fans of atmospheric supernatural horror - emotional & philosophical edge, like The Others The Sixth Sense or Hereditary. Elevated genre + Spiritual depth + Family dynamics🥲🎥🎞️🎬

Celebrated my birthday with my loving husband, Kevin, in Muskoka. Then off to Toronto with our beloved son, Justin, & his amazing partner, Kevin. We enjoyed Casa Loma & Van Gogh's Immersive exhibit.
