Some journeys require you to take the road less traveled.

Earning my Doctorate in Educational Leadership was never just about a title — it was about creating impact. It was about understanding how systems work so I can help reshape conversations around what success looks like for our youth.

Too often, entrepreneurship is introduced too late. Our children deserve opportunities to learn leadership, ownership, creativity, and innovation early. They deserve to see that their ideas matter NOW — not someday.

This doctorate journey strengthened my commitment to pushing youth entrepreneurship conversations into classrooms, communities, and everyday life. From lemonade stands to business plans, from career day discussions to future CEOs — we must normalize teaching young people how to build, lead, and create opportunities for themselves and others.

The road less traveled is rarely easy, but it often leads to purpose.
And I’m proud to walk this path so the next generation can see what’s possible. 🎓✨

It's official: Dr. Spratley has a nice ring to it! 🎓

I am beyond thrilled to share that I have officially obtained my doctorate degree in education. This journey has been about so much more than a title- it’s been about deepening my commitment to the next generation and refining the ways we empower our youth.

At The Enough for Foundation, our mission has always been to show young people that they are “enough“ to lead, innovate, and create. Adding this academic milestone to the foundation’s story only strengthens our resolve to provide world-class entrepreneurship, education and mentorship.
