Some of my achievements would not have been possible without the generous financial support of individuals, organizations, and institutions. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to those who have believed in me and invested in my journey.

Beyond the unwavering love and financial support of my parents (Mom and Dad) and family in the early stages of my academic journey, I am especially thankful to the people and groups who have funded my studies and research at various stages of my academic career. I also owe my heartfelt gratitude to God for placing the right people in my life at exactly the right time.
