Episode 100: Marcela Ramirez

Welcome to another Wednesday morning with LIFE WORK BALANCES!

This week I got to talk to Marcela Ramirez, who got connected to me through former guest and friend Sy Simms. We then ran into each other at the ASHE conference, and solidified plans to have a chat. It was a really great chat, and I am really excited for you all to hear it. We talked about growing up, playing inside, animals, moving, school, family, commuting, and studying abroad. We also talked about reading groups, critical thinking, voicing needs, friends, career planning, job transitions, student activism, and a lot more!

Episode 40: Victor Betts

Happy Wednesday everyone, and welcome to another episode of LIFE WORK BALANCES!

Today I sat down with Victor Betts, Marketing and Operations Coordinator for the Cross Cultural Center at UC San Diego. We had a great time chatting about Victor’s like, career, and experiences, and laughing about some fun stories and bonding over our love of a lot of things. We talked about his experience growing up in Japan, what it was like moving to the US, and the differences that Victor experienced between the two. We also talked about decisions to move away to college, getting connected on campus, being an RA, and how Victor decided to come back to San Diego to work at UCSD. We also talked about The Walking Dead, Dr. Who, trashy TV shows, outdoor activities, and regaining energy as an introvert.

SPOILER ALERT: We talk about some key events in Season 2 of The Walking Dead, and the most recent series of Dr. Who, so be warned that if you are not completely up to date.

OUT & PROUD BONUS EPISODE: Kara Devaney

Hi Everyone, welcome back to LIFE WORK BALANCES for another OUT & PROUD WEEK Bonus Episode!

Today I had a great conversation with Kara Devaney, PhD Student at Loyal University Chicago. It was really fun to catch up with Kara, since we hadn’t had much time to catch up since she moved to Chicago from CA, and so it was fun for me to find out what she has been up to. We talking about the benefits of community building groups and social circles, computer science, math, knitting, bicycling, relationships, and the factors that go in to choosing a job. We also talked a bit about how we met each other and the interesting research that Kara was working on that lead us to meet.

We will be back tomorrow with the last OUT & PROUD WEEK Bonus Episode. Thanks to everyone for listening! If you are interested in being interviewed for LIFE WORK BALANCES please send an email to lifeworkbalances@gmail.com
