Help De Andra Complete her Dissertation Journey
Donation protected
Hello, my name is De Andra, and I am a dedicated doctoral candidate in Business Psychology at The Chicago School. Over the past 4 years, I have passionately pursued this field, blending my love for understanding human behavior with a commitment to fostering better workplaces and organizational well-being in communities of faith, the corporate sector, and within government spaces.
I’m now in the final stages of my program, working diligently to complete my dissertation on rejection sensitivity and its impact on a leader's response to interpersonal conflict. This journey has been humbling and equally transformative, equipping me with the tools and knowledge to make a lasting impact in my field and one day, the world.
Why I Need Your Support
While I have made significant progress, I am facing a funding gap that threatens to stall my ability to complete my program. The costs associated with tuition, research, and final dissertation preparation is significant, but with your support, not insurmountable.
To cross the finish line, I am seeking to raise a total of $20,000 to cover final expenses. However, $5,000 is my first fundraising goal to be able to register in the upcoming semester.
How Your Contribution Will Be Used
Your support will directly enable me to:
- Cover tuition and fees: Remaining program costs to finalize my degree.
- Research expenses: Materials, software, editors, and other tools needed to complete my dissertation.
- Advance my mission: to create healthier, more productive organizations and leaders through evidence-based strategies.
What This Means to Me (and Others)
Achieving this milestone isn’t just a personal dream—it’s a step toward making a meaningful contribution to the world. My research aims to address rejection sensitivity, interpersonal conflict, and overall leader development as a key component to organizational performance. I am confident that my current and future research will influence leaders and their organizations globally and across multiple sectors of industry.
