I would like to extend my thanks to the individuals who contributed to my success in the MDDE program. Those include the most important people in my life, my family. Their understanding and support enabled me to stay focused throughout this journey. I would also like to thank my co-workers, specifically the Deans, who without their guidance and advice I would not have undertaken the Master's program. Lastly, I would like to thank my professors and classmates who were amazing. All those involved at AU provided a positive, engaging learning environment which significantly enhanced my learning and experiences.
