As a child, I was always told I should become a teacher. Spurred on from my enthusiastic jumping to assist a classmate and desire to learn more, it was a suggestion I heard from friends, family, and teachers, alike. Thus, when it came time to choose my first semester of courses, I selected Schooling in a Multicultural Society to see if teaching was my path forward. 

​

Long-story short, through trial and error I determined that I did not want to be a teacher, but I was passionate about the United States' education system, ending inequities within the system, and supporting students through the first quarter of their lives.

​

To do so, I began to interrogate policies and interschool practices that aid student success. In particular, I am passionate about access to higher education, diversity, equity, and inclusion lessons, and mental wellness in schools.
