Background:

Why I do this work:
I have always loved learning; it’s an amazing process that helps people become better versions of themselves and enables them to support their communities. I’m convinced that talent is distributed homogeneously in society, but unfortunately, opportunities are not. That’s why I’m committed to creating a better education system for every child — one that can help them reach their full potential.
