A Closer Look at Me: MyDailyShe Guest Post

I know I've been away from my blog far too often recently, but this whole dissertation-thing kinda sucks it out of you. But worry not - I've already started working on new content (now that I'm post-quals - yay!). 

In the meantime, check out my story on MyDailyShe - You get a close-up look at why I'm doing what I'm doing and how I hope to make the world a little better.

A colleague asked, “Are you aware that someone in your audience might be a sexual assault survivor?”

Yes. Yes, I am aware.

I am aware that every 98 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted.

I am aware that one woman in six is a victim of sexual assault.

I am aware that one woman in ten will be raped by an intimate partner in her lifetime.

I am a sexual assault survivor, and I am dedicated to fighting sexual assault.
