I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my dissertation chair for the countless hours of reading and rereading my dissertation, the willingness to meet, and the invaluable guidance and feedback. I am also extremely grateful for my second and third readers who generously provided their expertise throughout this endeavor. A special thanks to the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at my agency who provided intangible support in making this dissertation happen by creating training for participants and attending sessions to share her knowledge to benefit the project.Many thanks to department leadership and my colleagues who joined me on the journey to improve cultural responsiveness within our work. Their willingness to listen and give feedback as I developed my action step influenced the success of the work. I am also grateful to my colleagues in this program for their moral support and openness to check-ins. Lastly, I would not have had the motivation to push through this process without the unwavering support of my husband who created the space for me to work on nights and weekends, and my parents and in-laws who always believed in me seeing this through.
