Commencement
A celebration to mark an ending and a new beginning
Fall 2020 Virtual Ceremony
Participation in commencement honors the achievement of earning my PhD and marks the beginning of the next chapter in my academic and professional life. The ceremony was virtual when I graduated in Fall 2020 due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. See me in the virtual ceremony! My information is on page 16 of the online commencement program. .

Spring 2021 "Cross the Quad" Ceremony
Instead of a traditional ceremony, I had the opportunity to cross the stage and be hooded by my doctoral advisor in the first-ever Cross the Quad ceremony. Watch me get hooded!
