Hi There, I'm Dr. Jasmine Abrams

I know firsthand how overwhelming the early stages of an academic career can be and the current political climate is not making things any easier. Balancing the endless demands of teaching, research, service, and a personal life is exhausting. Doing all of that when there is so much uncertainty about the future of our funding opportunities and institutional priorities - whew. It can all feel like too much to manage.

That’s why I created this webinar, I want to share the strategies and systems I wish I had when I started my journey. Timeless methods I’ve refined over years of working with hundreds of faculty, helping them find a way to thrive despite external circumstances and without burning out or giving up their peace.

My goal is simple: to give you tools to achieve real, sustainable success while creating a balanced, fulfilling life. If you’re ready to build the career you’ve always envisioned then I’d love for you to join me in this webinar. I promise it will be an hour well spent, and you’ll walk away with actionable steps you can implement immediately. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Warmly,
Jasmine
