You are an expert
You belong here
Whether or not you have any kind of college credential or what generation you were born in, you have valuable knowledge and experience - expertise - in your life.
...and we can all use our expertise to take care of ourselves, the planet, and each other.
That is the mission of GenZ PhD.
As a recent PhD graduate who found a love of crafting, I am working to build & support community through my own research and creations.
Born and raised in the Phoenix-metro area, and hope to call Arizona home for many decades to come. In 2025, I decided to start a business to share my passion with the world in a way that's sustainable for me and the environment. In the past, I have made a living making custom chocolate-covered strawberries, delivering pizza, dog/horse-sitting, and tutoring.
Now that I have finished school, I am looking forward to spending more time with family, at the post office, the park, the library, and the crafting at home with my cat and dog. I truly enjoy sharing the extra love that I have in my heart with loved ones, neighbors, and strangers.
Thank you for being a part of my world today. If it's a hard day for you, I'm sending you my love and energy to keep pushing forward. If it's a good day for you, pay it forward with a smile or support for a stranger or friend. I'm rooting for you all.
Warmly,
Lauren
