Well, since the email went out to my department, I guess it is official.
This was my last semester working in Academia.
It's been a long time coming and the right decision for me and my family.
This was my last semester working in Academia.
It's been a long time coming and the right decision for me and my family.
Next week I'll start a new adventure as a Quantitative Analyst, still here in Buffalo.
I'll miss my students. I'll miss my coworkers. I'll miss the great political science community.
I'll miss my students. I'll miss my coworkers. I'll miss the great political science community.
But after a lot (A LOT) of soul-searching, pro-con lists, chats with my friends & family, and questioning whether I was doing the right thing; I'm sure this is the right move for me. #Academia is a fantastic place, but it isn't the place for me, anymore.
So a huge thank you to the amazing #AcademicTwitter community and #PoliSci more broadly. You've been a huge part of my life & identity.
I'm excited for this new adventure & hope to still have a place in the Twitterverse.

I'm sure I'll have more to say about why I left & how I (finally) reached this decision, but for now I'll leave it as; sometimes the things you want to be right for you, just aren't. And that's okay.
