Graduation Photos Part 1

So, I had my graduation ceremony last month! I have a Master of Public Policy & Administration (MPPA) from Northwestern University. I wanted to share some pictures from the ceremony. I also have a YouTube video I filmed at the beginning of my MPPA program about being a student with depression or bipolar disorder. It’s weird; time went by both too slow and too fast while finishing my MPPA program during an ongoing historic pandemic. The past month, I have been juggling remodeling this blog (to make it more accessible and efficient) with job interviews.
