Abstract
In this scholarly personal narrative (SPN), an assistant professor engages in a critical reflection of her journey towards tenure and promotion. The author parallels her journey to include the work done daily with preservice education students, as she works to prepare them for careers in teaching. According to the author, the intersectionality of the work done, and the expectations had for students are inseparable when conceptualizing and discussing the journey towards tenure and promotion. It is this intersectionality that has shaped the professor and a contributing factor to her success.
