Please call me Dr.

Posted on April 2, 2015 by Amy's Reflections

I began my doctoral journey over 900 days ago.

The countdown clock to my graduation!

The countdown clock to my graduation!

Yesterday I successfully defended my dissertation. While it hasn’t fully sank in yet, I can honestly say I am proud of all of the hard work I put into the entire process. I am honored to be called Dr. Illingworth and cannot wait for the final graduation ceremony to culminate this journey. Thank you to all of you reading who supported me throughout the process!
