I haven't experienced imposter syndrome, and maybe you haven't either An Article by Rach Smith rachsmith.com I have never felt like an “imposter”. I have always deserved to be here, I’ve worked hard. I don’t suffer from a “syndrome”. Identifying the gaps in my knowledge and being aware of what I don’t know is part of my vocation.
