    Dr. White served as a fully-released district mentor and professional development specialist for new teachers. When she encountered the struggles that new teachers faced on a daily basis, she decided to pursue her doctoral degree in Leadership and Educational Administration from the University of Florida.

The work of her dissertation was conducted in the hopes that more good teachers will remain in the classroom.
