Hi, I’m Ivy.
Associate Professor by day and Luxury everything enthusiast by weekend.
I created “Brilliantly Ivy” to share my experiences, hold-ups, and thoughts as a university professor. It’s a space where I express my opinions on teaching, research, maintaining an academic career, and doing life meaningfully. I love showcasing my style through my lens. My style is pretty simple and classic. I enjoy a well-curated closet, a good handbag, and an americano… or iced coffee. You’ll read about journal rejections, my beauty favourites, and my handbag wish list. “Brilliantly Ivy” reflects my belief that academia is a brilliant and fulfilling career choice and can be more gratifying when you relate with the right mentors who guide, being authentic in what you are looking for in academia- our journeys are different.
Get ready to embark on a journey filled with academic wisdom, lifestyle musings, and the occasional farm adventure.
