My heartfelt gratitude to my committee members at IU, especially my chair, Jennifer Fleissner. Thanks also to my incredible friends and family for their love and support throughout this process. NYC: See you soon! 🎉
Submitted the complete dissertation to my committee, now chilling in the path of totality. Feels momentous 🤞🏾🌞
