Well done on your website. I acknowledge how scary it can be to put yourself into the public space, this is an achievement in itself! I might suggest to use a darker font so that there is a greater contrast between the background and the text. It might be helpful as well if you make the font of your menu slightly bigger or bolder. I really enjoy the sketches, they are communicative of your field. You can also consider breaking up your "Mission" block of text a little, perhaps with some paragraph seperation or bullet points somehwere, so that it isn't just one big block of text which is more difficult to read. Wishing you everything of the best with your website!
