My PhD journey taught me to be a CEO, project manager, head of communications and everything else all in one person.

 

I read thousands of texts, wrote half a million words, organised myself four research visits, and built an international professional network.

 

Thus, when I finished my doctorate I left with not only a book manuscript (that yes, is still waiting to be turned into an actual book), but with a skill to deliver interdisciplinary multidimensional research under a specific time frame, with an idea of how to communicate my research findings to many different audiences, and with many collaboration experiences. 

​

I also learned how to take chances, ask help, re-consider plans, self-motivate and accept failures.
