Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it. - Marian Wright EndelmanIn the doctoral program, expanding your professional knowledge is crucial in becoming a leading expert in higher education. Within this industry, I am navigating through my path to become an effective leader in Student Affairs. My goal is to create a thriving community among students and ensuring they have educational equity to produce student success in higher education institutions.
I have created a guide to plan out my three years in the doctoral program to help outline development areas in the higher education sector. At the time I am writing this, I am finishing my second year in the program. Below you will find the link to my professional development plan.

During this global pandemic, many professional development workshops and conferences have transitioned content to online platforms. This new normal has been challenging but I have dedicated myself in learning more about topics related to Student Affairs, Governance, Student Retention in Stressful Climates, International Education, and Study Abroad. Expanding my knowledge in these areas has given me new ideas on how to explore and navigate higher education, specifically at public colleges in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
