Why I do this work:

As a rural school graduate and first-gen college student, I’ve experienced firsthand the impacts of educational inequity that face young people furthest from opportunity; on the other hand, I have also witnessed passionate adults working hard to realize satisfying outcomes for these young people. It has been a longstanding aspiration to be involved in work that aligns so closely with my beliefs and hopes about the future of education.
