As the year winds down, I’ve been reflecting on the challenges I’ve faced and the strides I’ve made in my work as an educator and advocate for STEM learning. This year, more than any before, has taught me to look at education through fresh eyes—embracing new ideas, listening to diverse voices, and leaning into the kind of growth that happens when you step out of your comfort zone. I’ve realised that my passion isn’t just about helping students “get through” their studies. It’s about finding new pathways to ignite their curiosity, supporting them through unexpected challenges, and celebrating the small wins that lead to big moments of understanding. Each conversation, conference, and collaboration has helped shape how I’ll approach the future—more creatively, more empathetically, and with a focus on nurturing each learner’s unique strengths. As I look ahead, I’m excited to keep pushing the boundaries, exploring innovative ways to connect with students, and working alongside an incredible community of educators and parents who share this vision. Thank you for being on this journey with me. Let’s continue to learn, grow, and make a difference together.

I was honored last Thursday to present at Mukwonago High School's Muk Ready day about the career opportunities in University Advancement! Not only was it great to share what I do, but it was also so fun to return to the high school I graduated from nearly 10 years ago! It is so easy to forget about all of the positions that help make a university run -- it's so much more than just professors! I truly didn't know just how impactful University Advancement work was or even the full scope of its duties until starting my position with Marquette University. My road was unlike many others to get to where I am today. I thought for sure I had everything figured out after high school - I knew the major I was going into college with and the career I was striving for after graduation. However, the thing that held me back was my own stubbornness. When I started to think about switching gears, when I started to question if I still wanted the same career I thought I did when entering college, I didn't explore those gut feelings but rather stayed in my lane and shut myself off to opportunities outside of my major. Now, I have a Bachelor's and the majority of a Masters in an area of study I no longer plan to build my professional career on. Fast-forward to today, I am so GRATEFUL to explore something new and cannot tell you how much I LOVE my current position with Marquette. If I left those future young professionals with anything after my presentation, I hope it was this: take the time to get to know yourself -- REALLY get to know yourself. Pivot when needed. Take risks. Take chances. Explore and something great will come your way. https://lnkd.in/eXNR_xSc

Quality food done right. A new and better approach to school dining.
We’ve begun a new chapter at Yay. We started with a simple idea—wanting better food for our kids at school. Building something that challenges the norms of a deeply entrenched industry hasn’t been easy. This video represents how far we’ve come. I’m incredibly grateful for every person who has been part of this journey. We’ve come a long way, but there’s so much more to do. Thank you, team Yay, who work tirelessly to make this vision a reality every single day. Getting to film this video at one of our partner schools with my best school buddy KEZI BAN is a full-circle life moment! Thanks for watching.

Sixty-nine THANK YOUs, one for each of the years i've been around on this planet. Little did i realize the extent of goodwill that would be showered on my birthday (30th July 1955) from so many 'contacts' in LinkedIn, many of whom i know and have interacted with directly earlier, and many whom i wish to interact with and know. As i embark on the 70th year of my life, i should share some of my observations, experiences, and knowledge (ideally SILENCE, which marks the supreme stage of learning and knowledge) in the true spirit of an active teacher. OK, here's my stuff (rant? Maybe, but please spare a few minutes of your precious time). I’ll share the whole content in instalments to ease the time. 1. For any human creature, there are only, and only, four contexts of existence in this world. They are, ‘Me Alone’, ‘Me at Home’, ‘Me at Work’, and ‘Me in public’. 2. The greatest collective human challenge is “how can less perfect humans work with themselves and with each other to create a more perfect world in the four contexts of life?” 3. The greatest individual human challenge is answering the question “Am I struggling to make efforts to fulfil my ‘Dharma’ (chosen duties and responsibilities) independent of the outcomes, which are NOT in my hands?” with flawless and fullest integrity. A few more thoughts will follow.

So, Finally my first year of college came to an end! I had countless ups and downs with new learnings and experiences. I got to know how TIME plays such an important role. It’s difficult to always keep a track of time, weeks and weeks can pass by with little or no outcome. I realized how I have wasted so much time on building connections, that didn’t last. College drama never ends, something or the other keeps on coming. It's better to stay out of it as much as possible. Due to the 9-5 schedule (+2 hours of travel) , it's easy to feel that I have done enough for the day but then nothing more can be expected out of the day, I have to stay motivated to do more and keep a track on the skills , as college doesn’t help with that. There were more Physics, Chemistry and Mechanical related stuff in the first year that will never come into use. Learnings: - Track your progress each day - Stay away from useless connections and remember your real goal. - During classes, instead of criticizing, focus on the lecture and complete your notes because we still have to get a decent GPA, the pressure during exams is no joke. - Weekends go by in the blink of an eye, so there's no help in leaving things till the weekend. - Do not forget to enjoy and stay happy during the process, some off days are well deserved. - Say NO to things that aren’t valuable; priorities do matter. After my first year, I can definitely say that I’m a more confident person now, and I will carry these learnings forward. Grateful and excited for what's coming up next, Devanshi Arora

🙌 This is great news! Just purchased on Kindle and started exploring the book. I find this topic interesting and highly recommend Vlad's presentations at DDD. This book tries to dive deeper into design, beyond the typical "it depends" answer. My hope is that Vlad's work with these book, will help us have more productive discussions about architecture & design, by adding more nuances when it comes to coupling.

The book you will want this year. Separation of concerns made practical. I have watched Vlad Khononov's depths of thought grow on this topic. He is the expert I would turn to on the positive and negative power of coupling and decoupling. If you simply believe decoupling is better than coupling, then prepare to have your mind blown and then balanced. 🤯 ⚖️
