Dr. Reed— Thank you for your impactful support in stepping up to chair my Cronkite doctoral committee. I have made more progress in this one year under your guidance and leadership since passing the Spring 2021 comprehensive exams. AND it was your sabbatical year! I feel supported because you see me as a capable scholar. You believe in the contribution of my research and championed me to the Graduate College. Your Completion Fellowship nomination boosted my confidence, and the selection was a huge win towards finally earning this terminal degree. Your encouragement gave me voice to shift this narrative inquiry towards inquiry AND reflection.
