After finishing the last year and a half of my undergraduate program remotely and immediately working full-time for several years, I realized I was burned out and needed to step back and reset. I took a sabbatical to work on my mental health, reconnect with my creativity, and reflect on what kind of environment I want to be a part of next.
During this time, I engaged in self-directed study and creative practice, including pottery and strategy-based game design. I have also been able to spend valuable time on my mental health, resilience, and reflecting on my long-term career alignment.
I can't wait to get back to work and build something impactful.
