Why are you interested in teaching?<br />

As the first person in my family to pursue a Doctor in<br />

<strong>Education</strong>al Leadership & Policy (ELP) terminal degree completion<br />

would serve as a catalyst toward working on behalf <strong>of</strong> all<br />

academically under-served Americans. My academic, pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

and personal goals are a direct extension <strong>of</strong> my interest in student<br />

equality, creating systems <strong>of</strong> equity and the advancement <strong>of</strong> agendas<br />

tied to diversity in higher education. Ultimately, I want to be a<br />

person my ancestors can be proud <strong>of</strong>—it is my purpose. I have a<br />

passion for educating students and desire to be an advocate during<br />

moments when social justice appears unattainable. Earning a Doctor<br />

in <strong>Education</strong>al Leadership & Policy degree represents significant<br />

achievement and will allow for opportunities to create informed<br />

scholarly change within field <strong>of</strong> higher education.<br />
