The last few months have been quite a whirlwind, but I'm happy to report that I like my new job, I like my new apartment, Chicago has been amazingly sunny, and it's awesome to be in an area where there are more (single) people my age. I miss my Providence friends dearly, but it's good to meet new people.
- Favorite recent playtime: swimmer laps and then a DePaul basketball game with friends
- What exactly do I do at work?: Health disparities project management. Looking at social reasons people don't get good care (health literacy, race, poverty-associated challenges)-- and I'm pretty sure these same things are what pose the biggest challenges to healthy lifestyle choices.
- Most exciting recent news: I found out today that I'm getting another article published in a medical journal! And it happens to be on how things like stress, recovery expectations, and health literacy cause people to avoid getting help they need. This is something I started at my old job and I am so grateful for the team that worked with me and believed in the paper through all the revisions.
