Welcome to my corner of the internet! I am a passionate academic, YouTuber, and admissions coach with a deep love for literature and the humanities. Currently a PhD student at Trinity College in Dublin, I share my journey back into academia offering insights on navigating graduate life, academic success, and my personal experiences in higher education. I also focus on helping others achieve their academic dreams as a co-owner of Accepted Society.
