Abstract

thank you for loving me in my best and worst moments and letting me express and share my love for music. Third, I would like to thank all my supportive colleagues and friends who are like family to me. Dr. Sondra Ashmore, I never would have had the confidence and financial support to complete my PhD without your constant advocacy and mentorship on my behalf. Thank you for showing me the importance of being a great mentor and mentee. Dr. Matthew Jefferson, you ix were kind to me from the very first moment I arrived at Iowa State University. I am grateful our friendship has surpassed the test of time. Kasandra Diaz, your resilience in the face of adversity has inspired me to constantly strive to be better. Your advice and support as a lab mate and as a best friend have been incredible. Dr. Katheryn Friesen, after spending three weeks in Stockholm, Sweden teaching global leadership, I knew we were long lost sisters. I couldn't have gotten through my last year of my PhD without you. Dr. Anthony Andenoro, thank you for instilling in me the importance of exceptional leadership and teaching, providing me with extraordinary leadership opportunities, and helping me take a step back to realize that life is a celebration and full of possibility every corner. Bra dag! Fourth, I would like to collectively thank all the incredible students I have had the pleasure and honor of teaching and mentoring, especially Cortney Elkin, Emma Gettes, Ella
