Why I do this work:

My parents, who were raised on farms, and my husband are all first-generation college graduates. School choices we navigated with our three children shaped their career trajectories. Between my own experiences and my work with Bellwether, I have come to believe deeply that every family should have the opportunity to choose safe, quality schools tailored to their children’s needs.
