@ChaseMFoster @kings_eis So excited to be colleagues!

Thrilled to start my new role as Lecturer in Politics @kings_eis! So much so, I made a 'first day of school' sign while visiting family in the USA —creatively designed by a special 5-year-old who just started Kindergarten & was impressed that I'm still in school after 30 years!

@isabelmperera @kings_eis Thanks, Isabel. Hope all is well with you.

@ChaseMFoster @kings_eis Huge news! This is very exciting, congratulations !!!

@c_hoeffler @kings_eis Thanks! Geneva does sound exciting!

@ChaseMFoster @kings_eis Good luck! I am starting a new position, too, and it always feels as exciting!
