Career and Calling

I am still very passionate about careers and decision-making. Having gone on my own journey from bioengineer to PhD in STEM Education to Research Analyst in Financial Services (not to mention the jobs in my teen years), I sometimes reflect/lament “What am I doing? Where is the path?” But in earnest we (people) are seededContinue reading “Career and Calling”

End of an Era

Years ago, God spoke two phrases to me regarding change and growth. 1. “When God says go, it’s for your good.” 2. “Go where you know that you’ll get what you need to grow.” As I enter a transitional phase of my life, these words couldn’t be more timely. It is easy to settle intoContinue reading “End of an Era”
