Hi, welcome to my first blog post! My name is Daisy. I live on Wurundjeri land in Melbourne, Australia. I moved here on a whim in early 2020, packed my car full to the brim and drove 9 hours from Sydney. I had a far-flung dream of a PhD scholarship in the back of my mind and waited tables while I put a research proposal together for an advertised position I had found online. When the pandemic rolled in, I lost my job, as many others did, but my silver lining was the PhD program I was later accepted into.
