Why I Chose Education as My Career of Choice

I believe the road to all success is through education.  I chose education as a career to be the change agent and advocate for underserved students of color and to lead the charge in providing an effective, intentional, and equitable education for all students.

My Dream for Myself

It is my dream to be a change agent for our students to foster equitable and  effective education.

Personal Interests

In my spare time, I enjoy family and friend time.  I enjoy game nights and movie nights and getting together with food and fun.
