Disney Channel Alum Bridgit Mendler Clarifies PhD Status While Noting Hard Choices Parents Need to Make

Disney Channel Alum Bridgit Mendler Launches Space Startup

She's not Dr. Bridgit Mendler quite yet.

Weeks after giving major updates about her personal and professional life—notably that she launched a new startup and is now a mom—the Good Luck Charlie alum is sharing an update on her journey through academia.

"Hey people. It came to my attention that something on my linkedin profile is causing confusion that I want to clarify: I am 2 months away from a JD and I don't already have a PhD," Mendler wrote on X March 7. "The PhD is something I started working towards in 2020 and I pursued it jointly with my law degree but when I moved to California last summer and decided that for family reasons we would stay on the west coast, it had to go on pause."คำพูดจาก สล็อตเว็บตรง

The 31-year-old had surprised fans Feb. 19 when she announced that she and husband Griffin Cleverly had adopted a son, now 4, whom they'd previously fostered, and that she has also launched a startup called Northwood Space, which "aims to build satellite ground stations that are designed with mass production and customer flexibility first in mind," per CNBC.

Over the last few years, the Disney Channel alum, who last acted in the 2019 series Merry Happy Whatever, had stepped away from the spotlight to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Law School.

And as Mendler made clear, her schooling journey is not over as she plans to "still fight" for her PhD, adding, "But how it gets completed is up to the administration and my principal investigator and what they think is appropriate."

"Ultimately, any parent or person trying to juggle hard things has experienced that sometimes you have to make hard choices," she wrote on Xคำพูดจาก สล็อตเว็บตรง. "My parents have a saying: 'do everything it's a blast.' I enjoy pushing the boundary of the possible and saying yes to more things but also it is important to flex the muscle of prioritization and discernment. For myself I've found that learning when to say no or not right now can be more of a skill than saying yes."
