Kizzy and I met (virtually!) in January when she joined a research project I had been working on for the previous few months. We learned during this podcast recording that she and I will have class together this upcoming semester, meaning we will get to meet IRL for the first time! Our friendship is a prime example of where I have found myself - surrounded by folks from completely different life paths but coming together to form a community and learn and grow from one another. For anyone curious about what life is like as an adjunct professor, part- time EdD student, and full-time Assistant Director of Academics and Student Services, this episode is for you!
Additional Topics Include:
- Passion for Student Success
- Life as K-12 Teacher in Baltimore
- Importance of Self-Reflection to Find Your “What’s Next”
- The Difference Between an EdD and a PhD
- Mutual Dislike for 4pm Friday Meetings
- Physical Exercise as an Outlet
- What to do about AI as an Educator
