her career goals. She used this time extremely well. She spent the first three
months truly investigating her specialty options. This gave her the rare
opportunity to use the rest of that year rather creatively. She spent the majority
of her time completing much of her research work mentioned above, but she also
spent time developing our chapter with the Open School and working on various
