Decluttering Cats to Improve Productivity
Like so many others, when March 2020 rolled around I stopped going into the office and started working from home. Let me preface by stating a big thank you to the essential workers that did not have this luxury. I work in information science with remote sensing data, so doing "remote" anything wasn't a big deal.

Why Vocal Is For Everyone
I genuinely believe Vocal is THE place to drop my writing creations—I wouldn't have co-founded the Vocal Social Society if I didn't. In fact, I went into detail about my thoughts on writing for Vocal in my previous piece, Forget Insta-Famous. Aspire to be Vocal-Famous.
