“I plan to teach future educators about social justice and making our world a better place for those in need.”

I am honored to be a scholarship recipient; thank you for recognizing my academic achievements and my potential in contributing to the education field.

I am in the education program in my adventure towards a PhD in educational studies with a concentration in cultural studies.  

Being awarded this scholarship allows me to gain experience teaching at the university level prior to graduating and to concentrate on my research and dissertation. When I graduate, I plan to teach future educators about social justice and making our world a better place for those in need. I also aim to help develop video games that promote empathy and justice. I am thankful for your contribution and for giving me the opportunity to work towards my goal.  Your belief in me is greatly appreciated.
