A bump to my head has made me think about what will happen when I am dead. I know that I am treasured, still I can’t help but think about how I would be remembered. Life is for the living, so the living must live for life. Live and let the ones you love know […]

What do you see when you look at me? Do you see my smile? Do you see my heart? Do you see my dreams? Do you see my hopes? What do you see when you look at me? Do you see my fears? Do you see my pain? Do you see me as an equal […]

I’ve been through more than you could imagine and more than I’ll ever openly divulge in public. Suffice to say, like many others, my life has […]

The week that was has been a week to remember😊. Things are progressing nicely on the PhD front and I work with some of the best teams that I’ve had the privilege to meet providing care for patients and their families. Yes, you guessed it, I’m feeling positive, optimistic and motivated for the future. […]
Welcome to the first edition of PhD Buzz!🐝🤔💡 As promised, it is my way of sharing periodically with my readers about my journey into doctoral research while working full time. It is intended to inspire and motivate others to pursue their academic goals too. Remember, I’m just an ordinary person aiming to achieve extraordinary goals […]
