To Tim for your constant encouragement and patience with this process. To my participants for their willingness to share their stories. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Completing this dissertation reminded me of running a marathon. Even though each step of the race has to be run by the individual, their success does not happen in isolation but depends on the race organizers, the volunteers on the sidelines providing food and beverages, and the crowds and other runners screaming their words of encouragement. Writing this dissertation felt very much the same. Although, I had to do the work, it was the encouragement and support of so many people that helped me to finish this race because just like with running a marathon, there were many points where I asked myself, “why am I doing this,” and it would have been much easier to drop out. To begin with I want to thank my committee chair, Dr. Tricia Seifert for being my coach, supporting me through this process and allowing me to do this journey at my own pace. I want to thank the rest of my committee, Dr. Carrie Myers, Dr.
