You may be looking at my resume and wondering what I did during several of these years... Well, despite debilitating Crohn's Disease, which required six major surgeries over this period, dozens of hospital says, years on a couch unable to work and on disability, and a constant barrage of powerful and dangerous medicines, I did not let my life come to a permanent halt. I continued my undergraduate studies, ultimately finishing at the top of my class. Then, while still ill and hitting setback after setback, earned a master's degree from Northeastern University and held numerous internships, contract positions, and various part-time positions. Through the extremes of this illness, I faced seemingly insurmountable challenges... and I conquered them. So, I ask you, is this period a "gap" on my resume? Does a period of time - the way I utilized it - count as a gap? Absolutely not. This is experience - real experience - and so I've listed it as such on my resume. Spend a minute and think about the skills, such as persistence, resourcefulness, stamina, empathy, creativity, patience, attention-to-detail, and more that a person cultivates during a time like this. My job during these years was to gain an 8-year doctorate in personal growth.I wrote an article about my experience, entitled "Becoming Unstoppable," and the Phoenix Magazine featured me and the story as its cover article in the Winter 2021 issue. I also give motivational talks about how people can leverage the skills they gained from illness to power the rest of their lives.
