I am so excited to have been selected as a Kenan Fellow.\u00a0 I have heard of Kenan Fellows for many years and was so very excited when I got an email about the first possible Kenan through STEM West.\u00a0 I applied immediately, but the funding fell through.\u00a0 I was busy the next year and missed the chance to apply when funding was available.\u00a0 All was good as a colleague did not miss it and was selected.\u00a0 I knew this year I had to apply and was probably one of the first applications returned.\u00a0 I was so excited to get to the interview stage and was stoked at the opportunity to work at Eaton or Biltmore Farms.\u00a0 Then COVID19 came along and I thought all was ruined.\u00a0 I was elated when Mark called to let me know I would be a Fellow and would get to work at Eaton.\u00a0 Though this year is unprecedented and fraught with a myriad of new challenges, I know this journey will push me to be a better educator, a better mentor and a better leader.\u00a0 I am honored and humbled to have been selected and hope to live up to those who have come before and are leading education in North Carolina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
