This is Episode #2 of the Anscombe’s Juggle podcast for parent-scholars looking to balance the demands of parenthood and academia. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Ashley Yarabinec, a mom to two young children, an assistant professor of pharmacy at the University of Pittsburg, and a full-time PhD student in education also at UPitt. She tells us how she manages the responsibilities that come with her various roles, what a day in her life looks like, and the important lessons she has learned along the way.
