Why did you choose 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó? What led you to pursue a degree in the Education field?
I chose 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó because my husband is stationed here in 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÃâ·ÑApp. Growing up as an African American student in a predominantly White private school drove my interest in education.
What is your current role, and how did 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó prepare you for your career?
I’m a therapist and coach people around the country who are opening educational organizations. 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó has given me the strength to motivate and impact others. The coursework was challenging, but it gave me great experience helping build school curricula.
Any advice to current students at 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó?
Find a mentor and surround yourself with people who can develop you as a leader. Push yourself beyond your comfort zone and let professors get to know you.
