At the heart of my work with the website dedicated to avoiding burnout for students and academics is a genuine desire to help others navigate the stresses of scholarly life. Having seen friends and peers struggle with the overwhelming pressures of deadlines, exams, and research projects, I started diving into strategies to promote balance and well-being. Whether it’s sharing practical tips or exploring mindfulness techniques, my goal is to create a space where individuals can find solace in knowing they’re not alone in this journey. I believe understanding the signs of burnout and proactively addressing them is crucial for maintaining not just academic success, but also personal happiness.

Outside of the academic realm, I have a variety of interests that keep me grounded. I’m a big fan of cooking, often experimenting with new recipes on weekends—my latest obsession is perfecting the art of homemade sushi (a bit hit or miss, but totally worth it!). Also, I love to immerse myself in creative outlets like photography and playing the guitar. These hobbies not only provide a welcome break from academic life but also remind me of the importance of self-expression and creativity as tools for rejuvenation. Balancing these interests with my commitment to helping others find their rhythm in academia has shaped my perspective on maintaining overall wellness in a high-pressure environment.
