Here are some memories from a transformative week. I can’t lie; it was great being in the community with my FAU family. I am very blessed by the love, moments, and reflections that brought me to the PhinisheD line.
See you at graduation. β€οΈπŸ¦‰1/2

A few weeks ago, I attended the ACPA - Paul Shang Institute for Aspiring Executive Officers, a training institute for higher education administrators aspiring to be in the executive level spaces in higher education.

For me, what possibilities exist in the coming years? πŸ˜‰
