#practitioner scholar

I knew (suspected) I would be accepted, but the validation really is something. I am capable of doctoral work. And more importantly: I am ready to learn all they have to teach me.

So I started using "alt grad school" when I got into performing arts Photography in undergrad and continued it on the side when I started working for my Alma mater's registrar's office.

But then I got really into higher education as a career and recently completed my actual masters in higher ed administration. So keeping "alt grad school" didn't feel like who I was anymore but it was still part of my internal brand/discovery process.

Now: thrilled that I kept AGS as a Tumblr url because I've found my next career goal/dream job but am still academically hung over so I won't even entertain the idea of a doctoral program for a few more years. But I want to work towards this dream job anyways and have always (since I was a child asking my mom to create homework and tests for me during vacations - crazy, I know) enjoyed creating my own curriculum and that's what I'm going to do!
