415<p style="text-align: left;"><em>&#8220;I participated in the 2022 VERA conference. It was a wonderful place to present my research and to hear what other educational research is happening in Virginia. My dissertation was awarded the Most Distinguished Paper Award at the conference, and I was invited to present my research at the AERA National Conference in Chicago in April 2023. </em></p>
416<p style="text-align: left;"><em>AERA has approximately 15,000 people attend each year and took place across 7 hotels in downtown Chicago. While a little overwhelming, presenting at AERA provided me the opportunity to listen to the latest research in our field, learn from the myriad of speakers, and discuss with other educators how far we have come and how far we still have to go. I appreciate being recognized and thank the VERA committee for the opportunity.&#8221;</em></p>
