"The graduate program was really helpful because I was able to dive into subjects and particular matter that interested me more. So, I was able to dive deeper into those and use what I already knew as a teacher: This is my style of teaching; this is how I manage students and the pedagogy I already use, and in my courses, my professors were very supportive and flexible to allow me to build on those strengths."
