Just wanted to submit one more time. I spent two years working on JOTPY as part of my ACLS Emerging Voices fellowship and it was two of the best years of my life despite the world having been put on pause by the pandemic. Due to the pandemic, my job prospects were nil after graduating with my PhD in 2019. But I found a home at JOTPY and ASU while I worked on the archive and taught courses for SHPRS. After two years I moved on and found my tenure-track forever job at Saint Leo University outside of Tampa FL. I’m so grateful for my time with JOTPY. It was right there when I needed it and I think a lot of other people felt like that too. Signing off!!!
