2020 isn't SO bad...

Awesome things that have happened to me during 2020:

• Unemployment + stimulus > My actual salary ​

• I got to see what it was like to be a stay at home dog mom and it was AWESOME!​

• I started a year long wellness program and 10 weeks in I have lost 14 lbs, I'm down 3 inches in my waist, and I already have less pain.​

• The manuscript that is the culmination of my PhD was accepted in a high impact journal! (coming soon...)​

• Got my DREAM JOB: Research Coordinator in Conservation Genetics at the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research​

• I'm moving back to San Diego!

While plenty of not so great things have happened (i.e. being furloughed, riots outside my door, A PANDEMIC), I am choosing to focus on these AMAZING accomplishments and be thankful I have some pretty great things to look forward to.
