Fueled by coffee & anger...but mostly š¤¬. I survived a toxic grad school experience & will continue to advocate for grad students. You are not alone!

At the beginning of my last year of grad school, I had a falling out with my toxic advisor & was told I wouldnāt be able to graduate. Many months later I have completed and successfully defended my dissertation. It took great courage & perseveranceā¦but Iām now Dr. Angry Grad!

Anonymous post from one of my followers: āHas anyone ever had a Provost who is not a SME in the field override a committee's approval of a dissertation and edits? Provost is demanding multiple students redo arguements despite having full committee approval.ā
