My wife defended her PhD ❤️ 👏🏻 Watching her dedication and brilliance in this journey has been an absolute privilege. 💐 Besides seeing her grow, I also learnt much from her while for my own PhD. I’ve always seen her as a model and followed her footsteps. 🙏 I’m grateful for everything she taught me.
