It's my peers who've pushed me the most by sharing their lived experiences and perspectives, inspiring me to rise to the occasion of dismantling systems of oppression in higher education. As I look to life after this degree, it will be my colleagues to whom I will turn when challenges and opportunities arise, seeking critical thought and collaboration about how to move forward.
