Latricia Whitfield-Mendez, Ed.D.

On March 13th, I successfully defended my dissertation. And although I’m elated that I have finally reached this point, I (and I would argue, other doc students), have the responsibility to share the BTS, in order to support others. Y’all, you’re not alone, and I hope this helps:
