About Me

I'm a Wife, Mom, Educator, Writer, and Doctoral Student.  For over 10 years I've been working in the field of higher education.  Giving academic and career advice is my calling.  Improving the educational system is my passion. Here is where my personal -- but not too personal -- and professional life converge. You can also find me on the web as a Contributor for Natural Hair Rules.

Need academic or career advice? Have other questions? Please feel free to e-mail me at degreesofhappiness(at)gmail(dot)com.  You can also find me on Instagram and Twitter - @degreesofhappy.

About the Blog

Degrees of Happiness is a career and education blog focused on career/life balance.  Specifically, it's about building a career that fits your life and a life that makes you happy. We've often been told about the term "work/life balance". But when you say the term "work", it focuses on your job (your employer) not you.  Your career encompasses your entire body of work. It includes breaks in work to be a mom, taking a step back to learn valuable skills… it puts the focus back on YOU.
