I know firsthand how difficult it can be to transition from academia to industry. Cold applying to jobs feels like sending applications into a black hole, and establishing internal references can be even more challenging. That's why I'm using this post to share my story…🧵

This is true of the @NSF GRFP too! I didn’t find out until too late that I was supposed to be making estimated income tax payments every quarter or I’d be slapped with a $2k fine by the IRS 🥲 No direction provided to fellows by NSF or my university, just vibes ~

I'm looking for an intern role that allows me to work independently and collaboratively while providing mentorship and embedding me in a tight-knit team. I'm open to remote positions, those in the Raleigh-Durham area, or offering a living stipend for relocation.
