♦ Acknowledgements ♦
Words cannot convey the depth and breadth of the gratitude I feel for my family, cohort, professors and colleagues. I would have been unable to juggle graduate school and a full-time career without the loving support of my family, encouragement and validation from my cohort, the academic experiences provided by my professors and the passion for student learning shared by my colleagues. You have enriched my life, been incredible role models, supported me during my stumbles and rejoiced in my successes. You have assisted me in embracing my vocation and in fulfilling my academic dreams.
Thank you again, for sharing in my journey.
