Many family members, colleagues, and friends reached out to congratulate me on the completion of my doctoral journey—thank you! Some asked what kind of doctor I am now. Here is best way I can think of explaining it.

It is true; I am a doctor. Yet not a doctor doctor. Just a doctor of education. I do not take the temperature of patients or listen to their heart and lungs with a stethoscope. I just try to understand what causes complex problems in colleges and universities and then try to eliminate those causes in collaboration with experts in the field.

I focus on online education because it allows equal access to learning, regardless of where you live and when you have time to study. My heart is in encouraging quality in education because we have the awesome responsibility of bringing up Alex’s generation (my son, who is about to turn 11)—the generation that has to fix the local as well as global problems we feel today and to stay ahead of the unpredictable problems we will face in the future.

I am a doctor of education. I am a simple servant, humbly contributing to making the path smoother for my son, for your daughter, for all of our children to benefit from quality education that adequately prepares them for a world of rapid change. To help them trust their intuition and learn to tap into their infinite potential. To help them be reflective, healthy, and happy. To help them look for the solution to all problems within themselves. To help them make a meaningful contribution to our collective future.

Thank you and God bless! 🙏🏼
