Interview
How did your doctorate prepare you for this particular career trajectory?
I knew I wanted to continue my career in higher education. The doctorate program prepared me to be at the table where discussions about policy, equity and resources take place. The program faculty and curriculum prepared me to be a critical, consciousness and equity-minded educator. The program prepares you to take theory and put it in practice.
Transformative Leadership means …
Leading by example and being open-minded, brave, empathetic and committed to equity.
Advice for Prospective Ed.D. Students?
To the current EDD students, continue to stay focused, remember your reasons for starting this journey and thank your partners, family and friends for supporting you during this journey. To future EDD students, the decision to start an EDD program can be overwhelming. But know that the program faculty and staff are there to support you. They want to see you succeed.
Any Thank Yous?
I would like to thank Dr. Caroline Turner, Dr. Lisa Romero, Dr. Carlos Nevarez and Dr. Julian Heilig. And, also a shout out to the EDD program staff. They play such an important role in helping the program and students succeed.
Anything Else?
Shout out to Cohort 10!
