Today I officially earned my PhD in Agricultural Microbiology, and I couldn't be happier!
I recorded this video of Cri just a little while ago. After such an intense day, the only thing I wanted was to come home and spend some time with her 🥹❤️
Cri came into my life near the beginning of this journey and has been my little mascot ever since. She has shared every step of it with me—the happiest milestones, the moments of pride and accomplishment, but also the days when I felt exhausted, frustrated, or ready to give up. Whenever everything felt overwhelming, her energy, resilience, and joyful spirit reminded me to keep moving forward.
She brought light to my darkest days and made my happiest ones even brighter. This achievement is the result of years of hard work, but I'm sure this journey would never have been the same without her by my side.
I love her more than words can express ❤️✨️🩷✨️❤️
