Welcome Change in 2021!

Let's be honest... 2020 was somewhat of a bust. In most situations (work, school, and social), the year drudged on as though we were dragging lead weights around our ankles. Many companies transitioned to remote work environments, thousands of Americans lost their jobs and children no longer had the option of in person learning. As we neared the end of the year we were hopeful for positive changes in 2021. I too look forward to the positive changes.

I do not make resolutions or live by any sort of mantra. I didn't choose a word to guide me through the year. Instead, I have chosen to take each day as it comes and explore the ideas and activities that engage and excite me. I choose to read words that challenge, yet inspire me. Finally, I choose to put my interests at the forefront of my education and forge my own path.

Doctoral work has been difficult but at the same time encouraging. I look forward to engaging in meaningful conversation, forging new relationships with mentors and doing research that provokes thinking.
