An Official Graduate!

After three long years, I can finally say that I’m an official graduate! My time spent at AiPD taught me the meaning of long-term endurance. I like to think of it as a triathlon for the mind.
I can proudly say I accepted my dipolma in style - that is NO shoes, barefoot baby! I had been picturing this day for months & it was every bit surreal as I’d imagined. I was on such a high (probably induced from the infamous polyester graduation robe). I have officially left the nest!
None of this would’ve been possible without the support of my husband, family & friends. I owe much of my gratitude to my partner in crime. His ability to endure the long evenings I spent glued to my computer, listening to endless babble about ideas for new projects & supporting every project I took on (and there were many!) allowed me to grow in ways I never thought possible. Thank you.

I’m happy to have supported you through all of the trials and tribulations of your time in school. You’ve consistently earned my respect through all of your hard work.
And now you’re earning a full time income too; hell yeah!
Congrats Baby!
