finalization process, and Dr. Anna Piela for encouraging me to explore qualitative methods.My cohort that has now become family provided invaluable moral support throughout the coursework and research process. I am appreciative of the frequent check-ins, constructive feedback, and shared laughter that were instrumental in reaching this point of accomplishment.Last but not least, this milestone could not have been possible without the unwavering support of my family, especially my husband, father, and my baby who, even in his young age, exhibited remarkable patience and understanding throughout my journey. They have been my greatest champions and I remain eternally grateful to them for believing in my aspirations.
