My utmost thanks and gratitude to my committee members for their support, time, encouragement, and wisdom through this process, I couldn't have done it (and wouldn’t have wanted to do it) without you:
Dr. Markus Wessendorf (committee chair)
Special thanks to Sha Ongelungel, John Eitel, Michael Press, and Minnie Martinez (Hi Mama, you’ll never find this because you never get online) for just being fantastic and listening to me be angry, and weepy through this process, Dr. Richard Rath for his wisdom and his undying support.
