Hey everyone — I’m Garmai Smith, and I’m so excited to welcome you to PhD & Purpose! 🎓✨
I created this space to share the real journey of balancing education, leadership, business, and motherhood — the wins, the lessons, and even the challenges that come with pursuing purpose in every season of life.
A little about me:
- I earned my Bachelor’s in Accounting and Master’s in Business Administration (MBA).
- I’m currently pursuing my PhD in Human Resource Management.
- I’m also a single mom, a professional passionate about helping businesses grow, and someone deeply committed to turning knowledge into real-world impact.
This group is for anyone who believes in growth with intention — whether you’re a student, a business owner, a working parent, or simply someone striving to align success with purpose.
Here’s what you can expect in this community:
💡 Honest conversations about the PhD and professional journey
📈 Tips and strategies for leadership, business, and HR growth
🧘🏾♀️ Real talk about balance, productivity, and self-care
🤝 Support and connection with others walking a similar path
I believe that success isn’t just about the title you earn — it’s about the purpose that drives you.
