Tyeisha Bagwell ’25

I started my college journey in August 2008 at Clark Atlanta University. Although it was a great institution, I left my junior year because it ultimately wasn’t the path that was meant for me. In October 2020, I moved to DC from my hometown of Philadelphia to find better opportunities. It is here in DC that I became a certified Certifying Nursing Assistant (CNA) and birthing doula. I have a passion for understanding and working with the early childhood field. Trinity University found me with a random publicity email and here we are now graduating with my B.A. in Early Childhood Community Education!

During my matriculation here at Trinity, I met some amazing professors that helped me so much in furthering my career and not just by teaching me but by also using their own resources. It is because of the amazing staff that I knew that coming back to pursue the graduate certificate in Education Policy here at Trinity was the only answer! I am so proud of myself, because I never gave up continuing my education and now, I am getting to further it even more. My ultimate goal is to obtain my Ph.D. in education with a specialization in early childhood education, and I know Trinity will help me achieve my goal.
