Why I Do This Work
Growing up, my parents devoted a lot of time and energy to help my sister and me navigate the public education system and to ensure that we had access to the best educational resources. Regardless of background or family resources, every student should have access to a high-quality education and be given opportunities that allow them to thrive.
