Navigating my marginalized identities has allowed me to discover the inequities and barriers placed on underrepresented populations and I strive to make pathways more accessible and diverse. My dream is to use this power of education and give back to the communities that need it most so that more of our youth have role models who understand them and support them in finding and accomplishing their dreams through a growth mindset.

I am currently making my dreams come true as a 4th-grade teacher in Los Angeles. I am also pursuing an M.A. in Transformative Education at Loyola Marymount University and graduated with Distinction from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. in Sociology and a minor in Education. My top 5 CliftonStrengths are Discipline, Harmony, Relator, Restorative, and Positivity and I hope to use my mentorship, communication, leadership, and facilitation skills to follow my educational passions through my professional work.
