By LEIGH GASKIN

I would like to recognize my committee, Dr. Guerrero, Dr. Bloodsworth-Lugo, and Dr. Leonard, for the labor put into this dissertation project. I am deeply grateful for each of your comments, support, and encouragement during the dissertation process. You all have been my dream team and have enabled me to do the best I could with this task. I hope each of you can find yourself somewhere in this work, as your voice and guidance shaped the project and its effectiveness.
