After writing a bi-monthly column for a local Chicago neighborhood-focused newspaper, they convinced me to come and work PT. I absolutely love it! It’s a little different from my previous career as a Children’s librarian, but very interesting abd fun! I ‘m a news junkie, so editing a small, local paper is keeping me on-my-toes!

Thats amazing and congratulations! All your hard work has paid off! Make sure to reward and celebrate this victory when you have a moment to and write it down for future encouragement on the job if imposter syndrome ever tries to seep in
