This Monday marked the last night of the first course in our accelerated MA in Professional Communication grad program here at UTampa. And, man, could I go on for days about what this experience is gifting me…but, hands down, the people I’m sharing it with are at the very top of that list.

This cohort, and the vibrant, inspiring, intellectual professors guiding us, are leaving a mark on who I am that I know I’ll carry for the rest of my life.

I cannot thank the universe, my God, Mother Nature, Father Time, and all the incredible powers that be enough for this chapter of my life and what it is doing within me and for me.

Here’s to an amazing group of people who have quickly become very dear friends, a year ahead filled with long days and very late nights, way more public speaking than most of us ever planned for, and so many incredible memories.

MAPC Class of 2027 - I’m honored to be among you! 🩷
