Hi! My name is Liza Munk, and I found out about EA through an ad on the podcast, Dear Hank and John. I’m working on making a career pivot away from academia but not yet had luck finding a new job, so I found it really refreshing to stumble upon a more optimistic message about my ability to find a high impact career. My MA and PhD are in ethnomusicology, the cultural anthropology of music, and I did my research as a Fulbright Fellow in Amman Jordan. It was never boring! But I grew increasingly frustrated with academia and am so looking forward to finding work that is collaborative at its core, respectful of work-life boundaries, economically secure, and remote (if not local) so that I can stay close to my family. I have a lot more reading, thinking, and brainstorming to do before I can narrow down which high impact area(s) exactly I’m most passionate about, but I can tell you how nice it was to hear a reference to cultural anthro on the podcast—having a high impact on the Ebola epidemic. I would love to connect and talk more! You’ll find my contact info on my profile.
