Have you ever felt like your career path was a bit scattered or not quite aligned with what you truly want to be doing?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Gillian Tarr, an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, to discuss her journey through the K to R Essentials program and how it helped her find clarity in her research career. We dive into the challenges she faced before joining the program—feeling the pressure to diversify and take on projects outside of her core interests—and how she was able to redefine her research focus and embrace what truly matters to her.
Gillian shares how the program’s framework helped her commit to a more focused and meaningful research path, providing her with the confidence to pursue her unique ideas and make the impact she’s always wanted to make.
