I enrolled in the doctoral program at Texas A & M University - Commerce in January of 2004.  I had taken the second research tools class (statistics) in the previous fall and made my decision then to enroll.  The degree will be in Higher Education - Supervision Instruction and Curriculum and I hope to finish sometime in 2005.  Dr. Jon Travis is my major advisor and Dr. Sue Espinoza and Dr. Rick Kremenski are my minor advisors.  My minor is split so that I will have educational technology and mathematics as college level teaching fields as well as education.  So far it is going great.  I have found I have a real knack for research and statistics and was very honored when Dr. Rick Balkin asked me to help him with his summer section of Advanced statistics.  I took the class in the spring and assisted Dr. Balkin in the summer.  It was a wonderful experience and I had the opportunity to really help the people in the class.
