My name is Shaqueta Lewis, and I am the Manager of Workforce Programs at
Lamar Institute of Technology. I have been in higher education for a little over 5 years. Since I introduced
education into my career goals, a world of possibilities has become available to me.

I have been married to my supportive husband, Jonathan, for 6 years, and we have a very bubbly 8-year-
old daughter named Jazlynn, and a spoiled fish named Mia Colors.

I decided to continue my education after stopping over 15 years ago, and before my mother passed, she
asked me to complete my Bachelor's, and I have kept that promise. As I journey into the Master's program,
I remind myself that this degree is for me.

Entering the world of applied digital learning is not only a new learning curve for me but also an awesome
roller coaster ride. As I continue on the road to completion, I would like to share my journey, thoughts, and
feelings with you.
