This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Julia Imanoff, PhD Student in Nursing at the University of Calgary, about the many hats she wears - mom, nurse, student, entrepreneur, student leader - and how she makes time and space for it all. 

Join me and my guest Viraj Muthye, Post Doctoral Fellow at Iowa State University, as we chat about how asking for help early on helped him to overcome imposter syndrome, how he created balance as an international student, and finding a love for teaching.

My guest this week is Ali Watts, PhD Candidate in Higher Education at Penn State University. We chat about transitions to and from graduate school and the importance of creating community.

This week I chatted with Jacob Lamb, a PhD student in Engineering at the University of Calgary. We chatted about life as an international student, a student volunteer, and the pros and cons (mostly pros) of being in a long term relationship while in grad school.
