I wasn't sure it was going to happen today, but it did! I successfully defended my dissertation proposal! ✨️ Another step towards what I hope is some amazing research for the safety community! 🙏 I'm so thankful for all the folks who have been in my corner cheering me on and the support I've been given when I raise my hand to ask for help! Also, huge kudos to my amazing DC cohort members - best hype award! 🫶 Stay tuned to learn more about my study! 👏🦺💛 #UMSLDBA #DBA #classof2024 #doctorate #dissertationlife #WISE #womeninsafetyexcellence
