ABOUT DR. TATE
“Most of us did not learn when we were young that our capacity to be self-loving would be shaped by the work we do and whether that work enhances our well-being.” – bell hooks
I am passionate about supporting students in their pursuit of higher education. As a first-generation college graduate, I know that dissertation research is not an intuitive process for most students. It can be messy and it can be difficult. Therefore, I created this service in July 2020 to increase the accessibility of this important level of support for graduate students who could benefit from it most. I successfully defended my dissertation titled "Stories from the Yam: A Narrative Inquiry Centering Black Women Sexual Assault Survivors" in December 2019, completing program requirements for my Ph.D. in Community Engagement at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, PA. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward the successful completion of your graduate work!
