7. One of the things I love about her ambition

Tue Aug 20, 2019, 11:50 AM

Aug 2019

is that she wants to teach at a college level (not university) so that she can mentor students as she was mentored.

She could make a lot more money in industry or at a bigger school in the future, but that's not why she is doing this.

She's off to do a post-doc job for a few years before she finds the college position.

We are immensely proud of her. She's bright, certainly, but she works her butt off!
