Educator

As a first-generation immigrant, my parents instilled in me a passion for education early. I studied Political Science at the University of Connecticut during the historic 2016 election, which was formative in my belief that classrooms are the frontlines of democracy. My career as an educator began with AmeriCorps and continued with completing my Master of Education at Southern Methodist University, Simmons School. Having experienced the inequities of our public schools firsthand, and in honor of the resilience demonstrated by my parents, my students, and their families, I am committed to providing the quality education that every child deserves.
