Well….2020. What an experience this has been. I moved back to Philly in February 2020 and then a month later, we were on lock down. My current role at Temple has been easy enough but I am grateful that my history of working here has helped to guide my work in such an uncertain time. Starting my life over again in Philly during a pandemic, protests, riots, and political discourse has been interesting, stressful, and somewhat intriguing. Needless to say, I am here and happy to still be breathing.
So here are the things I am so happy for in 2020….
- Being hired as the Senior Academic and Student Services Coordinator at Temple University Center City (TUCC)
- Being assigned to serve as the TUCC representative for the University College Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Action (IDEA) committee
- Guest presenting at McDaniel College (March and September)
- Presenting at Shepherd University: Multiple Sides of the Human Story Workshop. “Implicit Bias and Respecting Difference” (October)
- Being promoted to Adjunct Assistant Professor in the College of Education and Human Development at Temple University
- Being hired as an instructor at Southern New Hampshire University, Thomas Jefferson University, and Shepherd University
- Going back to Widener University to work on my PhD in Human Sexuality Studies
- Taking classes at Temple University to complete my Graduate Certificate in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies (Hopefully finishing in May 2021)
- Applied for my Master in Liberal Arts at Temple University
I am hoping to continue seeing great success in the next year. I wouldn’t be able to do anything with my wonderful network of friends, colleagues, and classmates. I thank you all for your continued support.
