Blog note: Last updated on April 17, 2026.
I just learned about the Now movement in blogging and really love this Now discovery feed. I didn't realize I was doing this when I began using widgets on my old blog that shared my "What I'm currently" status. Here are some of the things I'm currently focused on:
🏫 Graduate School
Entering the spring semester of my MPH program. Focusing on my next series of classes and determining my research topic.
📚What I'm reading: academic journal articles, lots of of them. But currently learning more about the concept of HL-NAV or navigation health literacy.
💼 Professional
Trying to get some writing done on a few scholarly projects that cover validating search filters, hospital history, academic library budgets, and HL-NAV.
📚What I'm reading: academic journal articles, lots of of them. Here's a fascinating one I came across regarding a poor farm, a medical center, and a library.
🪴 Personal
This blog, but also, getting better at my cooking skills, cleaning and home organization, keeping an herb garden alive, finishing a few books, deciding where to travel with family.
📚 What I'm reading: The Mountain is You by Brianna Wiest
🎧 What I'm listening to: Chillhop Essentials: Spring 2026
🎮 What I'm playing/watched: Resident Evil 9 (watched)
🪴 What I'm keeping alive (house plants): Several pothos(es?), philodendrons, an aloe (gift - still alive), rosemary (gift - did not make it ), basil plant (tiny gift - still alive), a ZZ, a snake plant, and two Hoyas.
