I was sure I was doing my career "wrong" as I cleaned condos and skied, tried a stream job in Silverton CO, and declined a grad school offer that didn't feel right. Now I see these were vital parts of my life AND career. It's easy to say, but try not to judge yourself too much♥️

Life isn't a straight path, and neither are our careers!
Research Ecologist Sasha Reed says these winding paths are valuable experiences that help us learn and grow. Her advice:
"Don't sweat the small stuff and follow your passion!" #WomenHistoryMonth

A quote reads "Do what you think is important, do what gets you excited, and don't worry about a linear path." #WomensHistoryMonth
