Author Bio
Hello! My name is Kayley. I am a fourth year PhD candidate, work which this sub-stack is intended to support. However, I am also a human being with complex feelings, thoughts, and experiences. I am queer and non-binary (they/them and she/her pronouns). I am disabled. I am a first-generation college student. I am the child of complicated, stubborn, and interesting people. I was born-and-raised in Southern California, but if you know me, you’ve probably noted how well I blend in here in the midwest (it’s the corny sense of humor and unfailing niceties).
Here you will find a versatile array of writings ranging from research reflections to not-to-personal memoirs. Mainly, this is my space to start sharpening my professional prose and polish, but it is also a method of making the actual work feel less-lonesome. If you have any inkling of graduate you, then you know how difficult it can be to fend off the feelings of isolation, inadequacy, and uncertainty. This is just one of the many ways I am attempting to both resist and sit with those feelings.
So, if you are so-inclined, subscribe and follow along on my journey.
