Fueled by coffee & anger...but mostly 🤬. I survived a toxic grad school experience & will continue to advocate for grad students. You are not alone!

At the beginning of my last year of grad school, I had a falling out with my toxic advisor & was told I wouldn’t be able to graduate. Many months later I have completed and successfully defended my dissertation. It took great courage & perseverance…but I’m now Dr. Angry Grad!

People may give you advice to hide that part of your research or who you are to get a job. Do NOT let the hatred or fear win! Your work is still valued and is needed now more than ever!

In academia, it’s glorified when you overwork. What is one thing you’ve done to set healthy work/life boundaries?

Anonymous post from one of my followers: ā€œHas anyone ever had a Provost who is not a SME in the field override a committee's approval of a dissertation and edits? Provost is demanding multiple students redo arguements despite having full committee approval.ā€
