The SS Stubbs, a 'fictional' tugboat, was created for my undergrad application to the University of Chicago- to which I was accepted though I chose Johns Hopkins University instead. At JHU, I studied classics and Latin American Studies and my undergraduate thesis was a comparative mythology of the underworlds of the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Mayans.
For a fellowship application in 2012, I was invited to create a visual story. I am neither artist nor designer, but I accepted the challenge. In a three day sprint, I made my first animated video that brought the SS Stubbs into the 21st Century in order to explain the essence of my journey from then until now. Surprising how appropriate a tugboat is as a metaphor to my clinical ethics work. While I have a lot to learn in the art of storytelling and animation, I hope that you enjoy this adventure with Lil Tug!

If I die tomorrow, will I be content with how I lived life today?
