Why I do this work:

I believe that education is the key to dismantling inequities that exist within our country. Developing and implementing policies and programs that are focused on disrupting these inequities are critical if we want to open up opportunities for all students — especially those from historically marginalized communities — to lead successful, fulfilling lives.
